What is Biomimicry?
Since its birth on earth 3,8 billion years ago, life spread out in countless species interacting in a dynamic balance with the planet. Today, the number of living species is estimated at 15 millions. Each one has secured its long-term survival through a natural adaptation process of trial-and-errors and thus displays a concrete application of the principles of sustainability.
The prime idea of Biomimicry is that nature already has in stock a certain number of answers to the problems of durability with which we are confronted today. Biomimicry Europa defines Biomimicry as an ” innovation process encouraging the transfer of ideas, concepts and strategies inspired from the living world, with the objective of designing human applications aiming at a sustainable development ” (extracted from Biomimicry Europa’s statutes).
