Biomimicry is an innovation method that seeks solutions from nature by emulating biological strategies and patterns. It involves studying challenges like increasing resource efficiency and moving from linear to closed-loop systems, then applying principles from examples like solar cells inspired by leaves and termite mounds providing natural cooling. Biomimicry offers advantages like creating sustainable products and processes while reducing costs and waste. Promoting biomimicry involves research, education, and encouraging its application to solve human problems in fields like transportation, energy, and materials.

4. Definition
Bio (nature) mimic (to imitate)
Biomimicry is an innovation method that seeks suitable
solutions by emulating nature's time-tested patterns and
strategies in order to solve human problems. E.g: A solar cell
is inspired by a leaf.
It is also referred to as biomimetics, bio-inspiration,
biomorphic, e.t.c.

21. Final Words
“If we are willing to make progress, we cannot rely on the small scale
improvements, we need to re-think challenges from the First principle
and using biomimicry to achieve them.”
“The more our world function like the natural world, the more likely we
are to endure on this home that is ours, but not ours alone.”
-Janine benyus.
