The treaty also advises each country to look to its own biodi-versity. For example, there should be norms for such things as importing foreign species or genetic manipulation, to avoid destroying local species or losing precious inherited genes.
公約提醒各國重視自己的生物資源，避免任何可能損及生物多樣性的行為，比如外來物種（參閱「誰是生物多樣性的殺手？」一文）的進出口，可能破壞地主國的生物多樣性、任意改造生物基因可能傷害珍貴的遺傳資源，因此都應適當給予規範。
