It is the knowledge of much of the world's population that Brazil is a megadiverse country, rich in biological diversity; to have a four of the major biomes of the planet are in our country example : Amazon , Cerrado , Atlantic Forest and Pantanal . However this biodiversity and associated traditional knowledge to this , has been a constant target of intellectual appropriation by the market , mainly from the second half of the twentieth century , with the further development of genetic engineering , which lets you recreate elements of biodiversity elsewhere and consequently the registration of its patent . Faced with this situation , in 1992 was signed by 161 countries , except the United States , the Convention on Biological Diversity - CBD (Regulated in Brazil by Legislative Decree 2/94) , during the United Nations Conference on Environment environment held in Rio de Janeiro , known as ECO -92 . However , under international law the practice of biopiracy ends up being legitimized by the TRIPS (Trade Related Intellectual Property Rights) - Agreement on Intellectual Property Rights Related to the Commerce , which was ratified by Brazil . In this intellectual and treated in a purely commercial sense , as another factor for economic development (again the power of the patent) , thereby causing , major international impasses between developed and developing countries property. Given this brief exposition of the topic , this project aims to understand how is the ownership of the products by the market , in the case of this work, and how this demand pequis the law - in the democratic context of recognition and enforcement of the Human Rights of People - a complex attitude under the protection of these (knowledge) rights to overcoming colonialism that historically characterized the appropriation of “real nature” as null things (res nullius) to an emancipatory understanding of the idea of development of people based on use of environmental goods and their intellectual capacities to construct reality.
