The term “biomimicry” has been coined by the biologist Janine Benyus in 1997. This term describes the rapid growth in the scientific field for understanding, mimicking and cataloguing the ingenious ways used by nature for sustaining life on earth for 3.8 billion years.
Biomimicry is very important for the survival of human race on its own. This is specifically essential due to decline in natural resources and increase in the population which further increase the need of resources. There are plenty of examples that can be taken from the nature that can be mimicked for human benefits.
Example: There is a Stenocara beetle (a type of beetle) that has ability to survive in desert. It does so by accumulation on its back which helps it to survive. This can be an inspiring example for humans to mimic the natural feature of this beetle to develop some similar process that prevents depletion of water resources and is self-sustaining.
