Vulnerability/Possibility of Caribbean Genetic Resources

∗ Caribbean is a biodiversity hotspot ∗ 67.5% of all new marine natural products from invertebrates (NMNPI) were associated with biodiversity hotspots ∗ The Biodiversity hotspots with most NMNPI were ∗ Japan 17.3% ∗ the Caribbean Islands (B) 9.1% ∗ Polynesia-Micronesia 8.3% ∗ Indo-Burma 5.6%

∗ DRUGS FROM CARIBBEAN LAND PLANTS ? ∗ Examined the plant sources for 92 approved drugs ∗ 10 drugs come from 5 plants or varieties which may have been accessed in the Caribbean. ∗ 5 of these drugs are natural products; 5 are NP-derived

∗ These findings suggest resources have been accessed and continue to be accessed ∗ But there is potential to have great benefits form the resources we possess ∗ An inventory of species is however necessary so we can know what we have to work with

∗ There are potential benefits to be derived that are currently under explored ∗ There is still illegal access of materials ∗ There is a need to regulate the taking of genetic resources ∗ The countries need to put more emphasis on the regulation of access and put in place programs to ensure adequate benefits are shared from genetic resources
