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.
