Well, reading this summary from someone who was actually there confirms my suspicions--based on reading the framework--about the biodiversity COPs.
"Gene drive developers pitched engineered rats and snails as new apps in their expanding gene-tech library. Private companies offered to pay communities to scoop up continual soil, water and air samples for genomic sequencing to feed their ‘generative biology’ platforms so they can sell novel AI-generated proteins to Proctor & Gamble .
As Halloween came closer, a ghoulish parade of tech bros, startups, banks, trade groups and other corporate types wearing ‘Nature’ masks continued to offer up ecosystem restoration, biodiversity offsets, e-DNA and more to dazed country delegates straying deep into unfamiliar techno-utopian territory."
Like everything else in the world, what begins with the heart and good intentions is always, ALWAYS, co-opted by those with power, money, and greed eventually. It is sad to see.
Thanks for the heads up! I was already skeptical of what the UN does but didn't know of the Biodiversity Conference. Perhaps related, some are saying the positive sides of BRICS, but then i read this "The BRICS’ 16th Summit in Kazan Revisited. “Not All That Glitters is Gold”. BRICS Nation Follow the Same Globalist Agenda” https://www.globalresearch.ca/brics-16th-summit-kazan-revisited/5871421
Our relatives have become our resources.
Excellent critique! I'll share it. The UN simply does not understand the futility of "conservation" when it's founded on human supremacy. Changing that mindset is likely the greatest challenge for people who care about the living world.
