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.

Bioprospecting is the legal exploration and discovery of Natural Resources for commercial use, with benefits shared between the source country and the company. Biopiracy, on the other hand, refers to the unethical appropriation of indigenous knowledge or genetic resources without proper authorization or compensation, leading to unjust exploitation of communities and ecosystems.
