Biological Material Sharing in Research: The Case of Rain Forest Resources

Author(s)

The outstanding species richness found in the Amazonian rain forest, combined with the gap between
taxonomists based in Brazil and abroad, has lead many scientists to focus their research interests in
Brazilian Amazonia. However, the last years have evidenced a much contrasting development of the
federal regulations controlling the access and transfer of biological material from the region. Here we
present the preliminary findings of a world-wide survey, reporting for both positive and negative
experiences by taxonomists and other researchers when dealing with research permits.
