Introduction to Cartagena ProtocolIntroduction to Cartagena ProtocolIt is a product of the 1992 Convention on Biological
Diversity
One of the issues addressed by the CBD is biosafety.
Biosafety is a concept that refers to the need to protect human health and the environment from the possible adverse effects of the products of modern biotechnology.

CARTAGENA CARTAGENA PROTOCOLPROTOCOL
Focuses on trans-boundary movement of living modified organisms arising from modern biotechnology processes
Came into force on Montreal Canada on 29th January 2000
It provides a regulatory framework for trade and environmental protection.
It creates an enabling environment for environmentally sound application of modern biotechnology

Nigeria - Distinct vegetation zones endowed with vast biodiversity

Nigeria is rich in animal and plant biodiversity

Many species are already threatened , endangered or extinct.

Nigeria has unique species that need to be protected

Examples of GM AnimalsExamples of GM AnimalsEnviroPig. A construct containing phytase gene from Escherichia coli under the control a promoter of the mouse secretory parotid was added to the geneome. EnviroPig gives less environmental polution.
GM Mosquitoes. Engineered to produce more males which are sterile.

Trade in GM productsTrade in GM products32 Seed companies already registered in
NigeriaIt is anticipated that there will be a flurry
of GM products in Nigeria within a short time. This sets the tone for regulation within our national boundry.

Biosafety Imperatives - CommencementBiosafety Imperatives - Commencement
Regulations must fit into Cartagena Protocol.
Nigeria is a signatory to the protocol.The National Competent Authority is the
Federal Ministry of EnvironmentThere is national Biosafety Office in
Department of ForestryThere is no enabling law in the country,
but there is a draft bill.

Main issues in biosafety monitoringMain issues in biosafety monitoring .. a, Environmental safety . gene flow (of GMOs will contaminate our indigenious crops) . invasiveness (of GMOs might become predominant) . non-target organisms . other effects on ecology and dynamics b.Food/feed safety/Human health . Nutrition . Allergy . Toxicity . Substantial equivalence c. Agricultural sustainability . Weediness . pest resistance development . chemical imputs . Higher Costs . Others ( Socio-Cultural , acceptability etc)

Biosafety Imperatives – Actions Biosafety Imperatives – Actions RequiredRequired1. Collation of biodiversity resources at
the local government, state and national levels.
Coordinated cooperative multidisciplinary and multiloci research into GMO production, safety and evaluation.
Documentation and awareness of products and effects.
