Imagine 3.8 billion years of design brilliance available for free,
at the moment of creation, to any sustainability innovator in the
world.
Imagine nature's most elegant ideas organized by design
and engineering function, so you can enter "filter salt from water" and
see how mangroves, penguins, and shorebirds desalinate without fossil
fuels.
Now imagine you can meet the people who have studied
these organisms, and together you can create the next great
bio-inspired solution.
That's the idea behind AskNature, the online inspiration source for the
biomimicry community. Think of it as your home habitat—whether you're a
biologist who wants to share what you know about an amazing organism,
or a designer, architect, engineer, or chemist looking for
planet-friendly solutions. AskNature is where biology and design
cross-pollinate, so bio-inspired breakthroughs can be born.
