Why are wild biological resources important?
- Since the enforcement of the Nagoya Protocol in 2014, the importance of biological sovereignty has grown, demonstrating the need to develop high value-added resources and foster industries utilizing marine biological resources.
- Excessive resource use and coastal environmental changes have led to the depletion crisis of marine biological resources, making it essential to develop research technologies for their restoration and management.
Systematic discovery and management of indigenous organisms, along with the acquisition and utilization of genetic information, are being promoted as part of various activities to enhance biodiversity conservation.
