Don't let industry undermine the biosafety protocol! (and more in ECO)

Groups and Scientists Call for Halt to Releases of Genetically Engineered Trees
Bonn, Germany -- Organizations and scientists [1] from around the world spoke today about their opposition to genetically engineered trees which will be negotiated at the UN Convention on Biological Diversity's Ninth Conference of the Parties (CBD COP-9) beginning next week in Bonn.

How public are the 'public research' lobbyists at the CBD?
The UN Convention on Biological Diversity’s (CBD) biosafety negotiations have been the target of biotech industry lobbyists and pro-biotech governments from the outset. But some have taken a more subtle approach to their lobbying, hiding their agenda beneath a veneer of public interest. Scrape beneath the surface however and their links to the biotech industry become clear.

Last Chance to Shut the Door on GM Human Beings,ACT NOW!
In just a few weeks British MPs will decide whether to allow scientists to start research on the ultimate step in genetic engineering: the creation of GM ‘designer’ human beings. In the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill, now going through Parliament, the Government wants to allow the creation of GM human embryos, as the first step towards developing "safe" technology for creating GM babies. The creation of GM babies is not just a hypothetical scenario: leading British scientists, such as Robert Winston and Ian Wilmut, have already patented techniques for doing this, including patenting human semen and embryos.

Environmental destruction, biopiracy and a lot of hot air
GE Crops: the final nail in our collective coffin
The only reasons for the existence of GE crops are two: (A) to maximize profits for transnational corporations like Monsanto, Cargill and ADM - at the expense of our planet's well-being, its wildlife and its people; and (B), to exert complete control over our food supplies. These companies are as merciless as America's war contractors and Big Pharma industries.
