The Center for Biological Diversity, a Tucson-based 501c3 nonprofit, believes human welfare is deeply linked to nature's biodiversity. We use science, law, and creative media to protect species on the brink of extinction and safeguard the lands, waters, and climate they need. Our mission is to ensure future generations inherit a world where the wild thrives.

Meet the bone collector caterpillar, a newly described Hyposmocoma species. This rare carnivore (only 0.13% of caterpillars) lurks in spider webs, camouflaged by insect corpses, even preying on its own kind. Roughly the length of a fingernail, it's a fascinating example of nature's unique adaptations.

Janine Benyus, the "Godmother of Biomimicry," advocates for humans to become a "welcome species" by designing settlements that give back to the planet. Through Biomimicry 3.8, she demonstrates how human environments can emulate nature's ecological gifts.

Benyus envisions cities functioning like forests—storing water, purifying air, cycling nutrients, and nurturing biodiversity. Her "Project Positive" initiatives prove this regenerative vision is achievable by asking, "What would Nature do here?" Discover more at biomimicry.net.

Janine Benyus, the "Godmother of Biomimicry," will present "Becoming a Welcome Species: Biomimicry and the Art of Generous Design" on April 10, 2025. She and her colleagues at Biomimicry 3.8 demonstrate how to design human settlements—cities, villages, homes, and businesses—to create the same ecological gifts as wildlands.

Her presentation envisions cities functioning like forests, storing water, cleaning air, cycling nutrients, and nurturing biodiversity. Through "Project Positive" initiatives, Benyus reveals this regenerative vision is achievable if we quiet our cleverness and ask: "What would Nature do here?"
