New Series Debuts: How Does Nature Make It?

How Does Nature Make It? is a collaboration between MAKE and the Biomimicry 3.8 Institute, a non-profit dedicated to equipping innovators with the tools to solve sustainability challenges using nature’s designs and core principles. The most popular of those tools is AskNature, the world’s most comprehensive catalog of nature’s solutions to human design challenges. By understanding how these adaptations work, makers can mimic ideas that have thrived in balance with Earth’s complex systems. This series explores these adaptations.
