Tools for ABS and the protection of TK
– such as the Potato Park’s BCP – may fall
short without a local to international policy
environment that creates a healthy relationship between local societies and nation
states. Decision makers need to define
national and international policies and
legal frameworks for the protection of
traditional knowledge based on the
concept of collective biocultural heritage.
