Biodiversity is taken into account in some political and judicial decisions:

  • Law regarding species is more recent. It defines species that must be protected because they may be threatened by extinction. The U.S. Endangered Species Act is an example of an attempt to address the "law and species" issue.
  • Laws regarding gene pools are only about a century old.[1] Domestication and plant breeding methods are not new, but advances in genetic engineering have led to tighter laws covering distribution of genetically modified organisms, gene patents and process patents.[2] Governments struggle to decide whether to focus on for example, genes, genomes, or organisms and species.[citation needed]
