Reclaiming the Commons: Biodiversity, Traditional Knowledge, and the Rights of Mother Earth lays out the scientific, legal, political, and cultural struggle to defend the sovereignty of biodiversity and indigenous knowledge. Corporate war on nature and people through patents and corporate Intellectual Property Rights has unleashed an epidemic of biopiracy resulting in important legal battles fighting efforts to patent the rights to many plants, including basmati, neem, and wheat. The author presents details of the specific attempts made by corporations to secure these patents and the legal actions taken to fight them. The book goes beyond the legal struggle to position the necessary solutions to corporate control including the exploring the Rights of Nature and proposing a framework for a Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth. It is the first detailed legal history of the international and national laws related to biodiversity and Intellectual Property Rights.Binding Type: Paperback

Quick response
Almost as soon as I described my problem with the screen I purchased, I was approved for a refund in the defective product.
Excellent customer service. I have used Asurion many times but this was my first claim. Keep up the good customer service.

Before Agreeing To This, Make Sure It Will FULLY Cover The Cost of Your Item!
I quickly agreed to this "protection" plan, only to later notice, it only covers up to $99.99 - not the $106.61 I've paid - for my new, soon-to-arrive, office chair! My chair cost $99.99, plus $6.62 in taxes. This Asurion "protection" plan costs $23.45, but only refunds $99.99, if there are headaches/problems with my new chair. So, I canceled my Asurion plan through Amazon, and will soon get my $23.45 refund!
