| Such concerns notwithstanding, some insist that potential gains from bioprospecting can motivate poor countries to preserve their biological diversity. |
| The claims of biopiracy were also meritless, resting on a stupid claim that bioprospecting was illegitimate unless all indigenous communities in a region approve it. |
| It requires a good idea of where to go searching, patience and a dose of good luck, but with bioprospecting the ultimate prize is perhaps more valuable than gold. |
| There are other many novel, biodiversity-based products that have emerged from bioprospecting, including adhesives, air conditioning, antifreeze and antifouling chemicals. |
| I asked Doctor Jon Copley from the Southhampton Oceanography Centre, about some of the more unusual outcomes of bioprospecting. |
| Conservationists, however, say the challenge is to design models for bioprospecting that link such discoveries to conservation. |
