Description

Lays out the scientific, legal, political and cultural struggle to defend the sovereignty of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge. Corporate war on nature and people through patents and corporate Intellectual Property Rights has unleashed an epidemic of biopiracy, including important legal battles of fighting biopiracy including neem, wheat and basmati which are synthesised in this book. It is the first detailed legal history of the international and national laws related to biodiversity and Intellectual Property Rights. The attempt to 'enclose, the commons of biodiversity and biodiversity related knowledge through patents and intellectual property rights (IPRs)' is the final step in the series of enclosures that began with the rise of colonialism. The recovery of the commons through the recognition of common creativity of nature and people, paves the way to a future beyond piracy and monopoly, it wakes us to the origins of life in nature and knowledge in culture. It sows the seeds of shared abundance. --
