ABSTRACT
In response to the importance of the issue at both international and national levels, the Task Force on Access to Genetic Resources – one of the main working groups under the National Committee on Biological Diversity, which was created in 1994 – was established. The task force is chaired by an academic and comprises representatives from the government agencies with responsibility for managing biodiversity in the country, the attorney general’s (AG’s) chambers, which is the federal government’s main legal advisory body, and various research institutions.
