"The Nagoya Protocol" is an international agreement aimed at ensuring the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources. It builds upon the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which was adopted in 1992 and has since been ratified by almost all countries worldwide. The Nagoya Protocol specifically addresses the issue of biopiracy, which refers to the unauthorized use and exploitation of genetic resources and traditional knowledge associated with them. Such acts can lead to unfair profits for those who exploit these resources without providing any benefits to the countries and communities from which they originate. The protocol provides a framework for countries to regulate access to their genetic resources and to establish a system of prior informed consent (PIC) for their utilization. This means that anyone who wants to access genetic resources from a particular country must obtain the consent of the provider country and comply with its domestic laws and regulations.

P to 8 Swear this sh is gettin ate, I m on ten for the cake Get a lot of love from twelve, but I don t reciprocate Fifty-one division stay patrollin when it s late 21 my addy, so the knife is on the gate All the dawgs eatin off a Baccarat plate N as see Drake and they underestimate Take it from a vet , that s a rookie a mistake, ayy. Yellow diamonds in the watch, this sh cost a lot Never send a bi your dot, that s how you get shot I DM in Vanish Mode, I do that sh a lot Took her panties off and this bi thicker than the plot All my exes ain t nothin , them h s busted If my opps ain t rappin , they a duckin You ain t ready to pull the trigger, don t clutch it I know you on your period, baby, can you suck it.
This means that anyone who wants to access genetic resources from a particular country must obtain the consent of the provider country and comply with its domestic laws and regulations. The protocol also obliges parties to take measures to ensure that benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources are shared in a fair and equitable manner. One of the key provisions of the Nagoya Protocol is the establishment of Access and Benefit-Sharing (ABS) agreements.
Review: DJI Mavic Mini
Small, light, pocketable drone. Solid camera specs for the price. Excellent 3-axis stabilization. Impressive, nearly 30-minute flying time. No need to register with the FAA. Just plain fun to fly.
TIREDUSB-A charging. Lack of ActiveTrack mode feels like deliberate crippling. No RAW image capture. So small it can be hard to track in the sky.
Making a smaller, less feature-filled product that's cheaper can often lead to a lot of compromises, but there's also a chance of making something truly special (see: the Nintendo Switch Lite). DJI has done exactly that with its new Mavic Mini, which packs nearly all of what's great about the company's larger, more expensive drones into a palm-sized package.
The collapsible Mavic Mini is more impressive than DJI's previous effort at a tiny drone, the Spark, in nearly every way. The Spark made too many compromises in search of its diminutive form factor (and is still 50 grams heavier than the Mavic Mini and $100 more). To keep down the weight and price, the Mavic Mini makes only one major compromise: It can't shoot 4K video. It can shoot 2.7K video though, which is good enough for most of us, especially considering it manages to do it while weighing a mere half-pound (just slightly heavier than a phone).
Palm-Sized PowerThe Mavic Mini is small, light, and very portable. It's the perfect drone for travel, even hiking or backpacking. The precise weight at takeoff is 249 grams. That's an important number in the drone world. The Federal Aviation Administration requires any "unmanned aerial vehicles" weighing from 250 grams to 55 pounds to be registered. This is a pretty painless process anyway, but the Mavic Mini is exempt.
Photograph: DJIIf you are planning to throw the Mavic Mini in a backpack for a long haul, be aware that the controller adds another 249 grams and is roughly the same size as the drone. The total package comes in at about 1 pound, plus any case you use.
That's impressively small for a device that features enough battery power to stay aloft for about 26 minutes in my testing. Wind and temperature will be factors in how long you can fly, and most of my testing was done in temperatures ranging from 35 to 60 degrees, which might be why I got a little less life than the 30 minutes DJI claims (lithium batteries do not like cold weather).
Yet the Mavic Mini is one of the best drone flying experiences I've had. It's nimble and responsive. DJI's new Fly app isn't quite as nice as what you get with the company's other drones, but it works well enough. My only gripe is that switching flight modes—between Regular, Sport, and a new one dubbed Cinesmooth—is not a switch on the controller as it is with other models in the Mavic line. Instead, you'll have to hunt it down in the app.
As you would expect, the Mavic Mini is so light that I do not recommend using it in windy conditions. That said, it was surprisingly stable the one breezy day I did test it. There was very little side-to-side movement, even with gusts; what movement there was tended to be vertical—gusts would push it up.

My other concern flying the Mini was its size. It can reach 1,600 feet vertically and can range 2.5 miles from you, which is a bit tighter than DJI's other drones, but that's still plenty far enough to lose sight of it because it's so small. Line of sight is the only safe way to fly in my opinion. Relying on first-person-view video is a great way to lose your drone. The Mini is so small that I would look down to frame a shot on my phone, then look back up and not be able to find the drone.
I should also point out that technically you don't need to use your phone to fly. You can fly the Mavic Mini through the controller solely by line of sight. I did this a few times, and losing sight in this scenario was nerve-racking.
Below the tiny frame is a 24mm lens with a fixed f/2.8 aperture. The CMOS image sensor is capable of 12-megapixel still images (JPEG only, unfortunately) and video at 2.7K/30p and 1080/30p. The results are impressive, especially considering the size of the package. Yes, there's no 4K video or RAW still capture, but this is a machine of compromises.
What's MissingThe Mavic Mini is tiny, light, and relatively cheap, which means there are some trade-offs to be made on features. This is not a Mavic, certainly not a Mavic Pro, not even a Mavic Air. It uses USB-A for charging instead of the more modern and more versatile USB-C, for example. Still, you get quite a lot of cinematic and flying power.
The big drawback and main reason many videographers will probably skip the Mini is the lack of 4K video. It's not that the 2.7K video from the Mavic Mini is bad, but mixing it with 4K footage isn't going to work out well. That means if any footage in your project is 4K, you'll want your drone footage to be 4K. For that, DJI has several answers: The Mavic, Mavic Pro, and Mavic Air.
For the rest of us, the 2.7K footage looks great, and the three-axis-stabilization yields far smoother results than the two-axis-stabilized Spark was ever capable of capturing. There's something to be said for the old adage: The best camera is the one you have in your pocket. That's true even when the camera in your pocket is a drone.

These agreements outline the terms and conditions for accessing and utilizing genetic resources, as well as the mechanisms for sharing the benefits derived from their use. ABS agreements must recognize and respect the rights of indigenous and local communities, often referred to as "traditional knowledge holders," who have long relied on these resources for their livelihoods and cultural practices. The Nagoya Protocol also encourages the establishment of domestic regulatory frameworks by member countries to implement its provisions effectively. These frameworks should include measures to monitor and enforce compliance with PIC requirements, as well as mechanisms for dispute settlement and sanctions for non-compliance. Since its adoption in 2010, the Nagoya Protocol has gained widespread support and recognition. As of now, it has been ratified or acceded to by over 120 countries, including major biodiversity-rich countries such as Brazil, India, and China. It has also been hailed as a vital tool for conserving biodiversity, promoting sustainable development, and ensuring the fair and equitable sharing of benefits associated with genetic resources. In conclusion, the Nagoya Protocol is an essential international agreement that addresses the issue of biopiracy and promotes the fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from the utilization of genetic resources. Through its provisions, it seeks to protect the rights of countries and communities that possess these valuable resources while fostering conservation and sustainable use. By establishing clear rules and mechanisms, the protocol aims to encourage responsible and ethical practices in the field of genetic resource utilization, leading to a more just and equitable approach to biodiversity conservation..
