Biodiversity Exploration for Sustainable Innovation: Unleashing Nature′s Potential

Abstract

Henry Gomez

Genetic resources are an invaluable treasure trove of biological diversity found in various ecosystems around the world. These resources contain the genetic information necessary for the development of new medicines, crop varieties, and industrial products. Bioprospecting, the exploration of genetic resources for commercial purposes, has emerged as a promising field in harnessing nature's potential. This article provides an overview of genetic resources, their importance, and the utilization of these resources in bioprospecting. It explores the challenges associated with accessing genetic resources and the need for fair and equitable benefit-sharing arrangements.
