Abstract
The article explores the tension between global intellectual property rights and the preservation of biodiversity and traditional knowledge, highlighting the conflict between developed and developing nations. It discusses efforts to balance these interests through international agreements like TRIPS and CBD, and presents the ICBG-Peru project as a successful local model for fair benefit-sharing and traditional knowledge protection.
