We foresee a world where biomimicry not only can change the way we design our planet, but also the way we value it.

That's why we created Innovation for Conservation, a unique conservation program whose funds are generated from bio-inspired innovation. After all, shouldn't we honor the organisms and ecosystems that evolved these ingenious, sustainable ideas, and thank them for showing us the way?

The program is managed by The Biomimicry Institute, a non-profit organization founded by Janine Benyus. Dr. E.O. Wilson of Harvard University and Ray Anderson of Interface Inc. serve as lead advisors.

Participating is easy.
