- W2090995804 abstract "Let me respond to each of these questions, taking into account the fact that most biodiversity is in the developing countries and that conservation strategy will therefore be implemented there. 1. Brush considers a conservation strategy fundamental because crop genetic resources are a world patrimony and therefore are indispensable to agricultural improvement in all systems throughout the planet. This common heritage of the world crop germplasm is at the heart of the politically charged critique of control over crop genetic resources and their benefit that Brush has decided not to discuss. The common heritage has been a convenient rationalization for gene-poor countries of the north who desperately need resources from gene-rich countries of the south. As Kloppenburg & Kleinman ( 1987) suggest, such rationalizing has enabled developed countries to maintain maximum access to genetic resources of the south under a facade of altruism that is neither aid nor assistance. On the contrary, as these authors state, Third World nations have been engaged in a massive program of foreign aid for the developed world. The same argument can now be extended to ecosystem resources as treated in the Brundtland report, Our Common Future. As developed countries realize that their own survival may be threatened by environmental degradation processes, suddenly a concern to conserve ecosystems in developing countries becomes a issue. Developed countries contain about 20-30% of the world's population but consume about 60% of the world resources (including crop germplasm), at the expense of tropical rainforests and other ecosystems. They are also the major producers of world pollutants (pesticides, acid rain, nuclear wastes, ozone layer destroyers, etc.). Despite the fact that the north bears major responsibility for the world's ecological problems, it has defined itself as the protector of the environment and proposed what it contends is an equitable balance between economic growth and natural resource conservation on the scale. This view assumes that every country shares the same level of responsibility and will equally benefit. The terminology associated with this view (sustainability, global etc.) quickly permeated academic and development circles and led to acceptance of arguments and policies that favor securing the ecological resources and services of the ecosystems of the south for continual subsidy of the affluent, wasteful, and at times selfish development of the north. Thus, the south is asked to engage in urgent and strict conservation, but the north is not asked to drastically reduce its level of consumerism and waste. Developing countries have and should have their own reasons and motivations for preserving crop genetic resources. These resources are their national property, so developing countries are entitled to develop autonomous conservation strategies and to demand compensation from the north for the use of their genetic re-" @default.
