SUMMARY

BG is a small bioprospecting group in Ecuador, first established in 1992. Its work to date has been commercial but its aim is to become self sufficient and to make a contribution to the sustainable use and conservation of Ecuadors genetic resources in the spirit of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). An account is given of BG's experience of working with industry and the challenges of working within the remit of the CBD.

[Editor's Note: Since the drafting of this contribution there has been substantial activity regarding the Andean Pact that will affect future operations in Ecuador. The reader is referred to the Guest Editorial, PY97002, for an up-date on these developments].
