Lawsuit targets Yellowstone bug deal
Pennisi EE. 1998. Lawsuit targets Yellowstone bug deal. Science. 279(5357):1624
The Edmonds Institute, the International Center for Technology Assessment (CTA), and the Alliance for the Wild Rockies are suing the National Park Service to stop an agreement under which a biotech firm would collect microbes from Yellowstone National Park's hot springs in exchange for giving the park service a share of profits from any products derived from the bugs. Park managers argue the agreement could raise needed cash for safeguarding the park's biodiversity.
