An obvious example is bioprospecting, the perusal of nature's genetic library for new food, medicine and pesticide ingredients.
一个典型的例子就是生物勘探,为了寻找新的食物,药品和对除害剂,会细细查看大自然基因库。
But bioprospecting has done almost nothing to raise the value of standing forests. This is partly because of difficulties in attaching property rights to species.
