The Minister of Environment, Science, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Kwaku Afriyie, has expressed worry about the huge quantum of losses incurred as a result of non-existing legal framework to protect the country’s biodiversity.

He intimated that more often than not, multinational companies and institutions capitalise on this lapse and make a lot of money without recourse to internationally-ratified protocols.

Dr. Afriyie said this at a sensitisation workshop on the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits in Accra.
