Abstract

In legislative matters, Mexico has faced various tensions on biodiversity issues, so it is necessary to ask if Mexico can protect its biodiversity with the current regulatory framework? An answer sufficient to cover all relevant areas is complex; however, limiting the question to a specific context, such as the issue of genetic resources, can be a criterion or guide to assessing whether there are favorable conditions for the protection of biodiversity in Mexico.

Mexico currently omits a law to specifically regulate access to and use of genetic resources and the protection of traditional knowledge, with the intellectual property regime being the only isolated tool. In 2018, a very important effort was made for the Mexican Senate to approve the General Biodiversity Law to incorporate the Nagoya Protocol into legislation. However, integrating a regulatory framework with these provisions across the three levels of government was not possible, much less was it possible to strengthen and update the provisions of the General Wildlife Law to conserve biodiversity in Mexico.

The national biodiversity strategy as a public policy instrument lacks the tools to be used in sectoral programs and a reference in planning programs at the State and Municipal levels, as established by the General Wildlife Law.
