Guidebook on Access to the brazilian biodiversity

GSS was responsible for preparing the first Guidance Guide on the ABS Law in Brazil, including an English version to facilitate understanding and access to information for foreign companies. The Guide was requested by ABHIPEC - the Personal Hygiene, Perfumery and Cosmetics Association, since Brazilian biodiversity has great potential for use in cosmetics.
