Dr. Mercedes invited us to collaborate with her team in the Genetically Modified Organisms Environmental Risk Assessment guide by helping in its translation to Spanish, making able for their work to reach Spanish speaking people.
Dr. Mercedes will present this guide at the Fourteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 14) in Egypt.

Dr. Mercedes invited us to join Saúl Pizarro and her at the COP 14 as members of Youth Biotech, an international group of young leaders who are interested in the development of science communication, policy making, and biotechnology regulation.
She recommended us to base our Integrated Human Practices in the United Nations’ three dimensions for a sustainable development: Economic, Environmental and Social. On the social aspect, she recommended us to include our projects’ ethical and legal aspects.
She suggested us to talk about a complex; there is not a complete understanding nor a single reason why bees are disappearing, it might be due to various diseases, malnutrition, insecticides, is a complex of reasons. Our project won't solve the problem, but it will contribute to managing the Colony Collapse Disorder.
Is very common to tend to talk about human rights, but this is not the only rights that have to be worth, the environment should have his rights just for its intrinsic value.
She also advised us in our United Nations’ three dimensions approach.
She contacted us with Dr. Sol Ortíz García, the Director of The Intersecretarial Commission On Biosecurity Of Genetically-Modified Organisms (CIBIOGEM for its Spanish Acronym) and with Dr. Natalie Beatriz Campos also part of the Executive Secretariat of the CIBIOGEM, focusing her work on Policies and Regulations Management.
