   What is biodiversity prospecting?

   • Biodiversity prospecting, or bioprospecting, is the exploration of biodiversity and biochemicals with the intention of developing and commercializing products. However, not all investigations on biodiversity are considered bioprospecting, e.g., academic research, although these may have commercial applications in the future.

   What are the goals of bioprospecting?

   • Thus, much contemporary bioprospecting has multiple goals, including the conservation of biodiversity, the sustainable management of natural resources and economic development. Ecologists are involved in three vital ways: first, applying ecological principles to the discovery of new resources.

   What is the resource for all bioprospecting?

   • The resource for all bioprospecting is biodiversity and the goal of this brief review is to illustrate the extent of the organisms and habitats that are currently the focus of bioprospecting industries. We will also suggest the importance of the various roles that ecologists can adopt in these rapidly expanding sectors of biodiversity use.

   Is bioprospecting a good idea?

   • A major consequence of this type of bioprospecting, as with all others, is the lack of predictability, across a wide swath of industries, as to which kinds of organisms, and which precise species, are going to be important. This suggests the wisdom of conserving as much biodiversity as possible (e.g. Handel et al. 1994 ).
