Mission
THE PURPOSES OF THIS CORPORATION SHALL BE TO NATURALIZE BIOMIMICRY IN THE CULTURE BY PROMOTING THE TRANSFER OF IDEAS, DESIGNS, AND STRATEGIES FROM BIOLOGY TO SUSTAINABLE HUMAN SYSTEMS DESIGN. ABOUT BIOMIMICRY: EFFORTS TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE, CONSUMPTION, POLLUTION, DEFORESTATION, AND THE MYRIAD OF OTHER ISSUES THAT THREATEN THE PLANET HAVE TO DATE BEEN PRIMARILY REACTIVE AND WHOLLY INSUFFICIENT. THE STRATEGIES WE RELIED ON TO PROVIDE FOOD, WATER, ENERGY, SHELTER AND COMFORT TO A GROWING POPULATION ARE NOW SEEN AS COMPOUNDING RATHER THAN SOLVING THE PROBLEMS. BIOMIMICRY IS A NEW SCIENCE THAT STUDIES NATURE'S BEST IDEAS, ABSTRACTS THE DEEP DESIGN PRINCIPLES, AND THEN EMULATES THESE DESIGNS AND PROCESSES TO SOLVE HUMAN PROBLEMS. THE BIOMIMICRY INSTITUTE IS THE FOREMOST AUTHORITY AND ALL AROUND GO-TO PLACE FOR BIOMIMICRY INFORMATION, THROUGH ITS FOUR MAIN PROGRAMS: BIOMIMICRY DESIGN CHALLENGES & EDUCATION PROGRAMS, INNOVATION PROGRAM, SYSTEMS CHANGE PROGRAM, AND ASKNATURE.
