The Biomimicry Institute is a nonprofit organization based in Missoula, Montana, co-founded in 2005 by Janine Benyus to advance biomimicry as a way to address major human challenges. It works to translate nature’s well-adapted designs into practical strategies for education, culture, and industry, aiming for healthier, more sustainable outcomes. Through initiatives in education, innovation, inspiration, and systems change, it connects a global network of educators, innovators, changemakers, scientists, and others to broaden the use of nature-inspired design. The organization serves professionals and educators seeking to apply biomimicry to environmental and social challenges, providing tools and training to enable real-world impact. A notable recent development is the May 2026 launch of the AskNature Podcast, reflecting ongoing efforts to broaden access to biomimicry knowledge.
