Innovation and Biomimicry

Sometimes Mother Nature could use a boost and when we work with her natural systems, she can reward us with a blueprint for success. EcoSense explores three creative and wildly different examples of biomimicry. We visit Mushroom Mountain and learn how the potential uses of fantastic fungi go way beyond salad - including as organic pesticides, medicine and even a possible solution to world hunger.

Innovation & Biomimicry

EcoSense explores three creative and different examples of biomimicry. A visit to Mushroom Mountain reveals how the potential uses of fantastic fungi go beyond salad. At the Emory Water Hub, mimicking Mother Nature leads to cleaning 400,000 gallons of water per day - without using the city's water treatment system. And at Georgia Aquarium and Zoo Atlanta, organizations around the country use data to ensure the survival of many diverse species.

Grizzlies, Wolves, & The Endangered Species Act - S3 E1

There are big questions about the best way to live with apex predators, especially when they've been absent from much of the landscape for decades. EcoSense meets with farmers, hunters, Native Americans, and organizations like Greater Yellowstone Coalition where voices with varying opinions find "common ground," and sometimes put aside their different perspectives for the greater conservation good.
