- Biomimicry is a new science that studies nature's models and then

our innovations. After 3.8 billion years of evolution, nature has
learned: What works. What is appropriate. What lasts. Biomimicry is
a new way of viewing and valuing nature. It introduces an era based
not on what we can extract from the natural world, but on what we
can learn from it.
