Close our inaugural season with engineer and biomimic Gamelihle (Gama) Sibanda. He shares his journey from Zimbabwe, applying the architectural wisdom of ants and termites to solve real-world flooding crises.

Tune in to episode 6 to explore how childhood curiosity about insects can evolve into a global engineering framework, integrating Indigenous knowledge, biomimicry, and the ethics of artificial intelligence.

The AskNature Podcast is a project of The Biomimicry Institute, hosted by Amanda Sturgeon and Andrew Howley. Sound design and music composition are by Simon Thomas George and Lucas Murray, with Ayoade Balogun as Senior Producer.

Shubhanshi reframes sustainability as a crisis of broken relationships, not just broken systems. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, she introduces "Akash," an invisible field of connection often missing from modern climate discourse. Through personal stories and indigenous wisdom, she argues that ecological collapse mirrors inner fragmentation, emphasizing sustainability as relational restoration.

An 18-year-old filmmaker and environmental advocate, Shubhanshi Chakraborty directed the acclaimed, award-winning film "Natok." A UN Geneva Youth Icon, she studies Environmental Science and Sustainability and authored "Past is Forward." This TEDx talk highlights her commitment to rebuilding our relationship with the Earth.

Wildfires are a continuous global threat, devastating lives and ecosystems. To combat this, Integrated Fire Management (IFM) is transforming our approach from crisis response to prevention and resilience.

Through the Global Fire Management Hub, FAO and partners unite countries, scientists, Indigenous leaders, and communities. This collaboration shares data, strengthens policy, and translates local wisdom into global action, as seen with Brazil’s Prevfogo brigades and Indigenous firefighters. Protecting our forests through unity ensures a safer future.

The Biomimicry Institute hosted architect Michael Pawlyn, who explored how biomimicry can help build a truly life-friendly world. Pawlyn emphasized biomimicry as a framework for transformative systems change, aligning human activity with nature's life-supporting conditions.

His vision, from circular resource flows to regenerative architecture, inspires new possibilities for design, creation, and collaboration, guiding us toward a flourishing future.

Futurist Gerd Leonhard presents a vision for a "protopian" future, focusing on gradual progress rather than idealistic utopias or bleak dystopias. He highlights climate change and artificial general intelligence (AGI) as critical challenges, emphasizing the need for human collaboration, ethical governance, and a new economic logic centered on the "five Ps" (people, planet, purpose, peace, prosperity).

Leonhard urges a shift from profit-driven narratives to a future that prioritizes human values. He advocates for collective action and global consensus to navigate rapid change. Watch the full presentation here. For more insights, visit this link.

The future is a choice, and in this talk, I discuss how we can create #thegoodfuture step by step. With the next decade poised to bring more change than the last century, we must decide whether to let technology dictate our path or to shape a sustainable and inclusive future through wisdom and collaboration.

We stand at a #forkintheroad: one path leads to dystopia, while the other leads to Protopia—a future that improves with each step. The necessary tools are available, but without global governance and collective action, they could lead to our downfall. This journey is about human agency and imagination, not political divides. Let’s invest in humanity and build the Good Future together. For more, visit Keynote Television and Basel Peace Office.
