KUALA LUMPUR: With a hearty cry of “Yo-ho-ho and a clutch-full of contracts,” a couple dressed as Captain Hook and Tinker Bell announced the culprits for the most infamous and malevolent bio-piracy acts in the past year, at a biodiversity conference here, yesterday. 

Among the “laureates” to get the Captain Hook Awards for Bio-Piracy 2004 were Brazilian president Luis Inلcio Lula da Silva, the United States, Dutch corporation Soil and Crop Improvement and chemical giant Monsanto.
