The issue about biodiversity resources protection and the knowledge related to them – which consist as the base for preserving the immaterial cultural and biological human heritage – first came out in a context of crisis regarding the society and the natural environment. Along with technical, scientific, and access to information development – especially the biotechnology progress – the worrying biopiracy phenomenon arose, which has been the topic for debate in several international and national forums. This study includes the complex issues regarding the access to biodiversity and the share of its benefits, taking into consideration the effectiveness of the main legal instruments designed to protect the biological diversity and the traditional knowledge related to them. Specifically about the legal instruments, this study will focus on the Provisory Measure no 2.186-16/01 and the Nagoya’s Protocol, analyzing their efficiency in emblematic cases involving biopiracy in Brazil. Also, it will be explained the problems concerning the execution of both the “Goals of Aichi” and the Brazilian strategic plan to fulfill the coordinated actions aimed to counter the biopiracy – and at the same time it will be investigated which procedures would be more efficient to counter biopiracy on both legal and political field.
