Sovereign genes: wildlife conservation, genetic preservation, and Indigenous data sovereignty

Abstract: The application of conservation genetics to wildlife preservation efforts are ongoing and promising. These involve the mobilization of a toolkit that ranges from monitoring the genetic diversity of rare species to more ambitious experiments in repopulating species experiencing genetic bottlenecks. All such efforts are predicated upon the deliberate and thoughtful preservation of existing genetic diversity. The history of genetic collection and conservation, however, for medical and health applications, is one … Show more

“…This approach recognises the importance of Indigenous sovereignty and the ethical and equitable use of DNA, particularly in the context of culturally significant species. The involvement of local Maori communities in decisionmaking and the devolution of harvest administration to a local tribe have been key factors in the success of conservation efforts (Collier-Robinson et al, 2019;Coombes, 2007;Robbins et al, 2023). 16 Further readings: Elmhirst (2011); Sundberg (2016); Sultana (2014).…”

“…This situation is particularly heightened when it comes to sequencing species that are taonga ( treasured ) by Indigenous peoples. In these cases, the tikanga ( protocols ) around protecting and ensuring the safety of tissues and genetic resources is paramount for upholding Indigenous data sovereignty (Robbins et al 2023; Jennings et al 2023).…”
