The ?Namibian model? shows that developing countries with interesting biodiversity endowments can generate considerable sustainable development benefits by taking pro-active ownership of indigenous biological resources and actively promoting their equitable commercialisation. Namibia?s coordinated, market-responsive approach to biotrade has leveraged significant investments in product development by private sector partners, creating additional natural resources-based incomes to serve as incentives for conservation. Namibia has adopted an innovative, flexible and ?evolution-enabled? sui generis approach to ABS, which uses well-known contract law to provide legal certainty to the users of indigenous resources, thereby enabling the creation of benefits while it facilitates fair benefit-sharing with the providers and traditional owners of those resources.
