Episode notes

We've had the opportunity to work on some varying different projects in different parts of the world, bringing byomimicry an some have been like. We worked on one where india was anticipating a hundred new cities of a million people or more in the next 25 years. And it became very clear that that ecosystem is driven by flooding. Flooding is critical to that ecosystem thriving,. It's how do we work with flooding? How do we design the waterway along the river so that we can embrace the floods and see them in a rejuvenating way as opposed to the threatening way?"

Our guest in this podcast episode is Dr. Dayna Baumeister, a researcher, consultant, and educator in the field of biomimicry. She is the co-founder of Biomimicry 3.8., a project that trains change-makers in sustainable design principles inspired by nature’s forms, processes, and ecosystems.

Dayna and her business partner Janine Benyus have developed the biomimicry movement as a response to the world’s sustainability problems.

In this episode we talk about how we can learn from nature to be more resilient and self-sustainable, raise better adapted kids, and adopt the everyday practices to improve our chances of overcoming the climate and economic challenges ahead.
