About This Collection

The design and production of materials, structures, and systems that are modeled on biological entities and processes.  

"Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies. The goal is to create products, processes, and policies—new ways of living—that are well-adapted to life on earth over the long haul. The core idea is that nature has already solved many of the problems we are grappling with. Animals, plants, and microbes are the consummate engineers. After billions of years of research and development, failures are fossils, and what surrounds us is the secret to survival." Biomimicry Institute.

Our planet consists of interconnected bioregions, each with distinct communities, cultures, and ecosystems. In this AskNature Hive conversation, Justin Winters, Co-Founder and Executive Director of One Earth, discusses how bioregional thinking can inform the design and funding of climate solutions that harmonize with nature. This dialogue is based on One Earth’s Bioregions and Solutions Frameworks, emphasizing the importance of integrating local knowledge, science, and investment to restore balance between people and the planet.
