Nature's 3.8 billion years of wisdom is the greatest "natural resource" we have to tap into. Biomimicry has galvanized scientists, architects, designers and engineers into exploring new ways in which nature's successes can inspire humanity. Biomimicry NYC is a consortium of individuals from all backgrounds, industries and sectors working to connect those inspired by nature's principles, techniques and strategies, and to catalyze a community of practice in the NY Metropolitan region. We work to support and amplify current nature-inspired endeavors and foster the deep connections needed to spread this discipline and new trade as far and wide as possible. As part of the Biomimicry 3.8 International Cohort of Networks, BiomimicryNYC is working with professionals and thought leaders across the globe to develop and scale innovations inspired by nature to create a global community of biomimicry practice. The next frontier of sustainability does not ask "how can we reduce our impact on the planet?", but advances that question to ask, "how can we create conditions conducive to life?"
To live gracefully on this planet that as Janine Benyus says "is ours, but not ours alone."
