... the problem of biopiracy -- where the unique properties of 
biological material, from the forests and the seas and even the soil 
of developing countries and indigenous and local communities are 
taken from them without their knowledge and consent and these are 
developed and patented into useful products and medicines
which are often unaffordable to the people from where the resources 
and knowledge generates from. A study conducted in 1999 estimates the
