Presentation of Alex Reep's Fulbright research in Colombia, August 2023 - June 2024 Summary: COP16 is coming to Cali this October. One of three "priority areas for action" is Access and Benefit Sharing for the use of genetic resources — what does that mean and how does it affect people in Colombia? Fulbright scholar and Alliance visiting researcher, Alex Reep, traveled around various departments to ask Indigenous people and local community members what they consider to be “fair and equitable” benefit sharing for the use of digital sequence information (DSI) derived from plants in their territories. How scientists can collaborate with traditional knowledge holders and avoid biopiracy in the digital age are discussed in these research outputs.
