Biological diversity

Developomes of existing spements in genetic engineering and biotechnology have raised fundamental questions about our relationship with nature in all its aspects and diversity. We believe that naturally evolved gencies deserve protection in the interests of the common good. All existing species diversity has developed over billions of years in a process of permanent co-evolution. Large-scale release of genetically engineered organisms which have not adapted through evolutionary processes can, therefore, endanger ecosystems and accelerate the extinction of species.
