The Secretariat of Biodiversity and Forests of the MMA promotes this week (June 13-14) an international workshop with the theme "Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit Sharing". The meeting is being held in Brasilia, but the debates are in English.
Brazilian authorities and experts from Australia, Mexico and Africa are attending the meeting. Among the participants are the Executive Secretary of the MMA, Francisco Gaetani; the Ministry's Secretary of Biodiversity and Forests, Bráulio Dias; and the senior researcher at the United Nations University, Geoff Burton.
It is hoped that the discussions will assist staff and managers of the MMA with responsibility for ABS matters to develop, on the basis of the experience of other countries, an assessment of the operations of the existing ABS regime in Brazil and possible options for improvement.
