Duration: 22 min

The Biomimicry Institute presents a new 20-minute film produced by Tree Media that introduces biomimicry as a way of living for everyday people and as a pathway for design inspired by nature.

Co-founder Janine Benyus walks us through the emerging discipline that takes wisdom from the natural world to transform it into human design.

Up-and-coming companies share their vision and inspiration, and viewers are poised to ask how nature would solve a problem.
