Bio-prospecting is the scientific research that looks for useful products in the nature to create pharmaceuticals.

Compensation has to be given to the community or the country from where the natural resource has been obtained.

Bio-piracy is the development of these pharmaceutical products without giving compensation to the community that nurtured and protected the organisms on which these products are based.

What is bio-piracy?

Biopiracy is the illegal appropriation of life -- microorganisms, plants and animals (including humans) -- and the traditional cultural knowledge that accompanies it. Biopiracy is illegal because, in violation of international conventions and (where these exist) corresponding domestic laws, it does not recognize, respect or adequately compensate the rightful owners of the life forms appropriated or the traditional knowledge related to their propagation, use and commercial benefit. Biopiracy commonly operates through the application of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) (primarily patents) to genetic resources and traditional knowledge. For more see the link below.
