In agreement with the decision V/16 of the Conference on the “CONVENTION ON BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY” (CBD), held in Nairobi, Kenya (May 2000), having as one of its goals the promotion of extensive application of article 8 j), and related dispositions of the CBD, and considering the instruments studied in our previous work, this project is oriented to pursue additional studies on methods and criteria which would contribute to the preservation of genetic resources, knowledge, traditional innovations and associated practices. Also, it favors states and communities control over the equal distribution of benefits aroused from traditional knowledge and exploitations of biodiversity, as well as promotes the conservation of the genetic resources, their natural capacity of variability and sustainable use, through: 
I. the creation of registries of knowledge, innovations and traditional practices of the indigenous and local communities (involving traditional lifestyles of importance for the conservation and the sustainable use of the biological diversity), turning the protection of such knowledge possible, and discouraging practices against their non authorized use. 
II. The creation of legal structures that allows weighed investment of technological and financial resources applied to the project by each one of the investors (national states, local and indigenous communities, and commercial companies) and their joint management. [See the attached document]
III. The creation of new financial and negotiable instruments which would benefit the producers with access to funds at early stages of production processes.
