20th Anniversary

20 Years of the Biomimicry Institute

For two decades, the Biomimicry Institute has championed two simple but powerful ideas: that life creates conditions conducive to life, and that Nature holds the answers to create a regenerative, thriving future.

From launching AskNature in Times Square to nurturing a global network of educators, innovators, and changemakers, we’ve inspired a movement rooted in curiosity, creativity, and deep respect for life. Our mission remains clear: to empower the next generation to build a nature-positive, inclusive, and regenerative future inspired and guided by nature’s genius.

Explore our journey and see how far we’ve come through our interactive timeline below.

Celebrate 20 years of nature-inspired innovation

20th Anniversary Virtual Celebration

Join us for a lively virtual celebration as we mark two decades of the Biomimicry Institute!

This online gathering is a joyful reflection of our journey, from launching AskNature to growing a global community of educators, innovators, and changemakers. We’ll share stories from the past 20 years, offer a sneak peek at what’s ahead, and invite you to connect with others who believe in a regenerative, nature-inspired future.

As we celebrate 20 years, we want to hear from you! Your reflections when your RSVP will help shape the virtual celebration—and might even be featured during the event.
