> Biomimicry is basically taking a design challenge and then finding an ecosystem that has already solved that challenge, and literally trying to emulate what you learn. There are three types of biomimicry – one is copying form and shape, another is copying process, like photosynthesis in a leaf, and the third is mimicking at an ecosystem's level, like building a nature-inspired city. > – Janine Benyus^[Brown, Adrienne M. <i>Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds</i>, 2017.]
