    Solution

    The Cali Fund was established to ensure that profits from the use of digitally sequenced genetic data (DSI), often derived from species in poorer countries, are shared with the local communities that originally discovered these resources' benefits. The fund mandates that companies using DSI contribute a portion of their revenue or profits.
