8. GENERAL OBJECTIVE
To generate scientific knowledge and to develop
technologies and innovations in order to add value to
biodiversity in a sustainable way, for the benefit of society
as a whole.
(III) PROPOSAL OF ACTION LINES OF RD&I *
* Complementary to the action lines of the National ST&I
Programs on Biotechnology and Environmental Sciences, to avoid
duplicity.
National ST&I Program of Valuation of Biodiversity

9. COMPONENT 1:
KNOWLEDGE GENERATION FOR THE CONSERVATION AND
SUSTAINABLE USE OF BIODIVERSITY
Action Lines
1. Characterization of ecosystems (including identification of new
ecosystems) and processes of diversification of biota in the country. .
2. Determining the resilience of ecosystems to different impacts
(natural and anthropogenic).
3. Characterization and conservation of promising biodiversity.
4. Design and implementation of dynamic models to assess and
preserve ecosystems, and to assess the services they provide.
5. Molecular, biological and chemical characterization of species for
economic valuation and access to market.
National ST&I Program of Valuation of Biodiversity

10. COMPONENT 2:
INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER FOR ADDING VALUE
TO BIODIVERSITY
Action Lines
1. Studies on the innovative potential in the value chains of
biodiversity, taking into account foresight and technology
surveillance tools.
2. Development of products (goods and services) and innovative
processes from biodiversity taking into account: a) the terms of
access to genetic resources and b) sharing of benefits.
3. Technology transfer and adaptation for management, cultivation
and breeding of biodiversity species, with emphasis on agro-
biodiversity.
National ST&I Program of Valuation of Biodiversity

11. COMPONENT 3:
INSTITUTIONALITY AND STRENGHTENING CAPACITIES
Action Lines
1. Promotion of linkage mechanisms between Government,
Academia and Enterprise for the development of national RD&I in
biodiversity.
2. Formation and promotion of excellency researchers and
innovators for different areas of biodiversity.
3. Dissemination of the appropriate use of intellectual property
mechanisms in RD&I on biodiversity resources.

ELABORATION OF THE FINAL DOCUMENT (Aug 2014)
APPROVAL OF THE PROGRAM (Sept 2014)
(IV) NEXT STEPS ON THE PROGRAM OF
VALUATION OF BIODIVERSITY

13. NATIONAL ST&I PROGRAM ON BIOTECHNOLOGY
COMPONENT 2: Biotechnology for the Valuation of Biodiversity
Action Lines
1. Study of the genomes of biodiversity species (quinoa, amaranth,
alpaca, vicuna and native fish)
2. Biochemical, molecular and genomic characterization of biodiversity
species with potential importance in health, agriculture, mining, and
the environment.
3. Identification of biodiversity resources by the DNA barcode
technique.
4. Genetic improvement of agro-biodiversity species for industry and
export
5. Development of bioprocesses

14. NATIONAL ST&I PROGRAM ON ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
COMPONENT 1: Climate change, environmental risks,
conservation and sustainable use of natural resources and
biodiversity
Action Lines
4. Vulnerability and adaptation to climate change
6. Assessment and monitoring for the conservation and sustainable
use of biodiversity
