The International Union for Conservation of Nature has voted against imposing a moratorium on releasing genetically engineered species into the wild for conservation purposes, despite opposition from Indigenous groups. The decision, made in Abu Dhabi, also supports the use of synthetic biology in research. Critics argue that such technologies pose irreversible risks without proper safeguards and consent.
