One of the first bioprospecting groups that attempted to implement the goals and guidelines of the CBD was a collaboration between the pharmaceutical firm Merck & Company and Costa Rica's Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBio), a private, nonprofit conservation and research group, INBio agreed to provide Merck with a limited number of plants, fungi, and other samples from Costa Rica's protected areas for scientific and commercial evaluation. In Costa Rica, Diversa's INBio collaborators collect organisms from thermal spots like hot springs, mud pots and steam vents. Under this arrangement, a Costa Rican quasi-governmental organization, INBio, agreed to provide Merck with 10,000 biosamples from nature parks in the country. |
