All genetic material of animal, plant and microbial origin, if it moves between countries and is used (including for research), is considered a genetic resource. There are legal provisions for the fair and equitable sharing of the benefits arising from the utilisation of genetic resources. This is called the Nagoya Protocol  which has been ratified by our country. The decision page below will help you decide whether you have to do anything if you use genetic resources in your work! If you have been given the green light for even one of the questions on the left, we wish you continued successful research and work!

If the questions have given you a red light and you know the implications of the Nagoya Protocol, please follow it, if you don’t, please contact us at the contact details below:
