The Biomimicry Resource Handbook: A Seed Bank of Best Practices contains over 300 pages of our biomimicry thinking, methodology, and tools for naturalizing biomimicry into our culture. We believe there is no better design partner than Nature. But biomimicry is more than just looking at the shape of a flower or dragonfly and becoming newly inspired; it's a methodology that's being used by some of the largest companies and innovative organizations in the world. While reading this text you'll be immersed into the world of Biomimicry the "verb"-you'll gain a competitive edge and a fresh perspective on how the world around us can, does, and should work. After reading the text, you'll be well on your way to thinking in systems, designing in context, identifying patterns, and, most importantly, seeing the millions of organisms around us... differently.

This text is directly applicable to designers, biologists, engineers, entrepreneurs, and intrapreneurs, but has also proven valuable to students, educators, and a wide variety of other disciplines.

In 2023, we released g6.1 of our Life's Principles-an enhancement to the existing principles that brought them to the next level of clarity and refinement. After an in-depth review by our team of biomimics, we were pleased to share that all of the principles still hold true. While we did split one complicated principle into two separate principles, the changes we implemented in g6.1 are fine tuning, clarifying, and wordsmithing. These changes were implemented into the Resource Handbook in 2025.
