Abstract

The development of the trade of biodiversity products is considered as one of the most efficient ways to promote its conservation. Existing institutional arrangements such as geographical indications, fair trade and organic farming are regarded as possible means to achieve this purpose and are therefore given new functions. Similarly the environmental and social expectations of committed consumers favour the emergence of more inclusive approach to ethics and labels. Biodiversity markets are built up and segmented through the competition and overlapping of norms and institutional arrangements that are defined at different levels ? from the local to the global one ?, that arise from different legal sources and intermingle private and public governance. Our purpose is to account for this institutional dynamics, to assess the potential of these arrangements to ensure biodiversity conservation and to describe the changes they are inducing.
