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.

Backlash Against Nature-Based Solutions to Climate Change by Suzanne Simard |
For decades, scientists have warned of climate and biodiversity crises stemming from deforestation and fossil fuels, simultaneously developing nature-based solutions. Despite the urgency and available solutions, peer-reviewed climate science, including Dr. Simard's work informing forest climate solutions for western North America, faces widespread efforts to discredit it. Her talk will delve into the recent backlash she has experienced. This keynote was delivered at the 2024 Bioneers Conference. To view other talks, visit http://www.bioneers.org.
