Biomimicry Australia
Biomimicry Australia is a collective seeking to create a buzz about biomimicry’s potential for inspiring innovation.
We humbly seek to better understand the organisms that call Australia home, with whom our survival is intertwined and interdependent, and to learn from them how to better adapt to life in this beautiful, challenging country of drought and flooding rains.
​
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the many lands that make up Australia. We pay our respects to the Elders past, present, and emerging, who have cared for these lands for tens of thousands of years. We recognise the enduring connection that First Nations peoples have to Country and honour their custodianship of the land, water, and skies.
We extend our deepest gratitude for the wisdom, knowledge, and care that they continue to provide in sustaining the natural world and its ecosystems. We commit to learning from and working alongside Indigenous communities to respect, protect, and preserve these sacred landscapes for future generations.
