Janine Benyus

Co-founder, The Biomimicry Institute

Janine Benyus is a biologist, author, innovation consultant, and co-founder of the Biomimicry Institute, who popularized the term “biomimicry” in her field-defining 1997 book and TED talks. An educator at heart, and a poetic field guide in practice, Janine believes that the more people learn from nature’s mentors, the more they’ll want to protect them.
