the knowledge of indigenous peoples for profit and mounting concerns. people in iran face new struggles on a daily basis. since september 2022 iranians have been protesting against their countries, islamist regime. around 500 people have been killed and tens of thousands are in prison in during torture and the fear of a death sentence. more than 80 percent of the population reject the islamic republic, according to a survey of around 200000 citizens in december 2022. roha is a very active child, says for reba, but resides. she used to be an english teacher, but giving lessons online, proved impossible during the pandemic. roha gave her no peace for reba was forced to change careers. now she sells jewelry and household goods in her instagram shop when she does it herself. lighting, taking photos, putting the items online,

then she waits for customers, but these days business is slow. i seen them and they not, they're not there necessary for people. and they don't buy them. and they bought dead man limitation of their internet and stopped me. and i did. i am and got their prayers then that i got sad am and i can't worry for reba and her husband had dreamed of a good life. he spends all week travelling around the country to reba has to manage on her own earning just 60 euros a month with both salaries. they come to round $250.00. that's not enough to make ends meet with no. my salary's online business and maybe a one day or 2 days, maybe one week. i don't so saw anything. she doesn't dare take to the streets

against the government. in our interview however, she deliberately doesn't wear a headscarf yet. she belongs to the silent majority who clench their fists in their pockets and otherwise fight for their daily bread. just like razor sally, he, he delivers eggs to grocery stores and supermarkets. he thought the job was crisis proof. but since he started 7 months ago, the price of eggs has almost doubled as i was at the bahama, if a government is eliminated feed subsidies. now the farmers have to buy chicken feed abroad and because the dollar exchange rate has risen so much, producers are having problems. so my expenses have risen to bad management was abscess as an issue. farmers middleman like razor and shopkeepers, like ali, all have less income. and the wave of protests that is swept the country complicates the situation even further. as of our, i guess when strikes were cold,

people stayed at home in protest had nobody shopped. i no longer know how to pay my rent, electricity, water milligram. the other well known business journalist i, he'd layla's says they're all victims of a fatal development in iran, one despite sanctions. the iranian economy has grown, evolve in may, the rich even richer, and the poor, poor of continuing yonder be have little put her. but pull people, the poverty line it in might, it seems that includes 25 to 30000000 people at the moment. ah, the unrest is an additional burden on the iranian economy. banks and companies close to the regime are being boycotted in protest. many of these are owned by the revolutionary guards. they have earned well in recent years. if the regime is now fighting the protests with all its might, it's defending the islamic republic,

but mainly its own financial interests. this is looking not, not only for option, you can imagine between 20 to 25000000000 list dollar as export of their capital to mainly canada or are other european and best and countries. while the powerful sin their money around the world, small businesses struggle to survive. mike, the metal company, not here, they euphemistically referred to corruption and mismanagement as economic problems that will let me show you our problems a huge and have their roots in our domestic economy. if the economy improved, all industries would benefit and every one would get a piece of the pie, the saw, the ham m. yes, we're on our way to visit the non factory and shallow. a 4 hour drive from tehran for the 1st time, as the protests began in september, the authorities have allowed us to leave the capital. protests took place and

shallows to, but hasn't hereon the authorities want to show us they have the situation under control again. at the plant were told that of course no one protested here. managing director mon swore muhammad he guides us through his empire. spare parts for the german made machines are no longer available due to sanctions. suppliers from friendly countries such as russia or china have stepped in. so the sanctions hardly affect his business, unlike most of its customers. in one of them behave that we have customers in india to but they came and said we can't transfer money to you any more with the yvonne. instead, we can give you black fabric for your cha doors, or rice that is written. necessity is the mother of invention. not responded to the sanctions by finding new markets in asia in the middle east and grew despite all the problems. but the wave of protests is an expression of dissatisfaction and he ran months or more comedy longs for normality. post them all fit for the muslim. we

want our nation into a government to stand together. mistakes need to be corrected. and the issues between us need to be resolved to take the pressure off us to follow the rule. love i. but online trader for reba bud reside doesn't want to wait for such a miracle. price is arising but her income is not. she sees no future for herself and her family any ran. i decided to immigrate. emigrate to out there contrib and both. i don't know where. because of the immigration. a situation is so hard. for reba bud reads. odd wants to leave the country for her daughter's sake and attached around her. she sees dissatisfaction and anger growing with each passing day. ah, count. this products contained ingredients from nature. ready but who do they

really belong to? many companies have researched unused natural products for decades. some have even been patented, own, in the name of profane. but what about the indigenous peoples on whose knowledge these prophets, when i. ready ready don't they deserve a fashion to. ready bio prospecting is defined in a united nations document as the exploration of plant and animal species for the utilization of their genetic resources. it basically describes companies and institutions looking for new natural substances to use them that products then in recent decades it's, it's pharmaceutical companies. it's buying that companies regard recalled through companies can or chemical companies as well, or claiming intellectual property rights relating to lourdes. the research and development that they've been doing,

and they're doing that through payton's. the idea is that new inventions cost companies, time and money and research to help them make that back. payton's, give them exclusive rights over that innovation for a set period of time, the bottom that the should have a bad in just a model id. ah, the industries od appreciated for dirty set, but it becomes more problematic when traditional knowledge of communities is involved. take the name tree known as the tree of life in india. it has vast medicinal and healing properties, and it can also be used to make organic pesticides and fungicides. in 1995 u. f. multinational w r. grace was granted a european patent. manime oil used as part of it, so gannet fungicide, mnemic a brand worth over $60000000.00 per year, according to a 2008 report. indigenous communities in india had already been using name oil as

a fungicide for centuries. but others profited from then knowledge the appropriation and commercialization of genetic resources like planting strikes and indigenous knowledge for profit. this is whereby a prospecting can turn into bio piracy. companies use patents to protect innovations without fair compensation for communities, whether genetic material and knowledge comes from. there should be a balance between the advancement in technology and also what is entre if noted on it should be preserved. it should not be misappropriated. ah, it took 10 years for the european patent on the use of the name compound to be overturned. but this is far from a typical outcome for indigenous communities. they often lack the funds and support to fight payton. and there are other problems too. it can also be harmful to buy a diversity hootie a gordon. i is a plant fountain,

south africa. it's like a cactus. essentially, it doesn't look appetizing, which is pretty fitting because he is a natural appetite suppressant. the son people of the region used the plant to keep them going while hunting, but its properties made it very attractive. the business research south africa's count for, for scientific and industrial research, c, f i. r used the plan to extract to formulate the molecule p 57 as a hunger suppressant for treating obesity in the 19 ninety's. the center patented the molecule and licensed it to multinational farmer company pfizer. and then you k based biotech fighter farm. no credit was given to the sun people and there was so much interest and hi about this on the parents and the researchers in newspapers. it's reported globally on that. it was decimated by opportunity. so people came out

and sort of decided they were going to make money off of on the removal of this plan. the sale of this plan who dea has had to be protected and south africa namibia, illegal harvesting is one of the main threats against the plant. it took until the early 2, thousands for the sand people to become aware of the cfo patent. with help from n g o's, the community successfully campaigned for the role of their traditional knowledge to be acknowledged under a benefit sharing agreement, they were to receive milestone of royalty payments. it's not clear how many cases of bio piracy there have been. the united nations has tried to instigate a solution under its convention on biological diversity. the aim of the nagoya protocol is to shad benefits from bio prospecting with indigenous communities.

can live in extreme pressure temperatures, darkness, animals like sponges, produced chemicals that have the potential to treat cancer. the global market projected for marine biotechnology by 2025 is $6400000000.00 with the potential for use in far suits, calls, chemical and biofuel industries. nations are currently trying to figure out how to share the ocean's resources equitably. countries in the global south don't want to be left behind. bio discovery, bio prospecting, however you want to call it to make scientific and technological advancements. well, it's clear that we need it. it has very, very significantly contributed to kind of human human well being. and if you look at all kinds of medicines, they're based on natural remedies. they're based on by or prospecting. so by prospecting is perfect, is important, will remain very important in the future. but it has to be done in

a way that is fair to the biodiversity rich nations, where the solutions are found. one way is by creating guidelines on what can be patented and how companies and research institutions should work with indigenous and local researchers, developers and marketing. working together gifts, both local communities and companies, the like the opportunity to profit. it also ensures the protection of the species providing us with the means to make advancements in technology, health, food security, and beyond access to clean drinking water is a human right? yeah, it's around 2000000000 people around the world. don't have it. this most important resource has long been big business. something food producers are well aware of. in 2023 in the industry expects to generate $334000000000.00 of revenue.
