At the COP17 biodiversity summit in Cali, pharmaceutical companies are accused of profiting from genetic resources and nature-derived compounds without paying into conservation. A global fund meant to make industry contribute to protecting biodiversity has attracted only about $7,000, drawing criticism that big pharma is exploiting nature while contributing almost nothing to its preservation.
Why now: The tiny sum raised by the global biodiversity fund and pharma's limited contributions have sparked controversy at the COP17 summit.
