Description

Natural History is ultimately the practice of falling in love with the world, and is a powerful gateway to biomimicry. We are all born with an innate curiosity for nature, and practices like these can re-ignite that inquiry, inspiration, and love. In this episode, hear from Tom Fleischner, a naturalist and conservation biologist who was the founding Executive Director of the Natural History Institute in Prescott, Arizona, and is Faculty Emeritus at Prescott College, where he taught interdisciplinary Environmental Studies for 29 years. Join us in conversation to hear why natural history is so important now more than ever, and how it can be a tool to help heal the world.

We share Earth with millions of other species, many of whom have been around much longer than us. Biomimicry is the promising practice of learning from nature’s forms, processes, and systems to create life-friendly designs that benefit both people and the planet. Lily Urmann – a biomimic, educator, and nature communicator – will explore this exciting field and showcase how biomimicry is applied and practiced around the world; from architecture and engineering to material science, manufacturing, business, design and everything in-between. Join Lily as she dives into the brilliant and beautiful world of how nature works and interviews biomimics across cutting-edge disciplines. Together, let’s discover what we can learn from nature!
