Conservationists began exploring the use of biomimicry principles to design more effective and sustainable ecological restoration projects. By mimicking natural processes and ecosystems, restoration efforts can be better tailored to local conditions and promote biodiversity.

The AskNature.org database has become a valuable resource for conservation researchers, providing insights into the strategies that different species and ecosystems have evolved to thrive in various environments. This knowledge can inform conservation planning and management.

Benyus has actively promoted biomimicry as a valuable tool for conservation, arguing that by learning from nature's strategies, we can develop more effective and sustainable approaches to protecting biodiversity and managing natural resources.

Benyus and the Biomimicry Institute have collaborated with various conservation organizations to apply biomimicry principles to specific conservation challenges, such as habitat restoration, species conservation, and sustainable resource management. These partnerships demonstrate the practical value of biomimicry in achieving conservation goals.
