Learning from nature Nature evolved efficient methods to address information processing problems Processes imitating such natural processes are often denoted as ‘nature inspired’ Engineering example: Aircraft wing design (Another) engineering example: Bullet train . Train's nose is designed after the beak of a kingfisher, which dives smoothly into water. (Source: Popular .
in nature to explain their approaches to a well-defined design problem, to reflect their ideas on design and to ex-press these ideas using drawings. Thus, especially inspiration by the nature was scrutinized in the present study. 1.2. Inspiration by the nature in design Designers think, fictionalize and design within a system. “Nature” is a

time, nature preschools also build children’s connections to the places where they live and boost children’s confidence in working together to improve their world, creating the foundations for lifelong environmental literacy. Nature preschools may be called nature-based preschools, place-based schools,
Nature-based Climate Solutions: A Roadmap to Accelerate Action in California ii “Climate change is already here—and we have a shrinking window of time to avoid the most severe impacts. Nature is our solution and nature-based climate strategies can protect our communities,
through nature-based solutions. Pollution abatement with nature-based solutions, such as planting and maintaining trees and enhancing soil quality, also serves as a mechanism for climate adaptation (i.e., water storage) and mitigation (i.e., carbon sequestration). Disaster mitigation — Nature-based solutions aid in disaster mitigation by .
of Nature-based Solutions exist that can help address the crises of nature and climate on the one hand whilst creating jobs and prosperity on the other. Whether it is restoring forests, building green infrastructure, protecting mangroves, practising agroecology or planting urban
Nature-based solutions are intended to address infrastructure needs, protect from climate impacts, and act as hazard mitigation tools (also referred to as pre-disaster mitigation). However, there is no universal definition for nature-based solutions; organizations define it in different ways and employ different terminologies.8

The intent of this study was to investigate the roles of nature centers in today’s society. Three types of connection between nature centers and communities were included: reasons that . I studied nature center’s perceived value and factors of support, because centers must constantly justify the funding they receive and these topics would .
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are defined as concepts that bring nature into cities and those that are derived from nature. NBS address societal challenges and enable resource recovery, climate mitigation and adaptation challenges, human well-being, ecosystem restoration and/or improved biodiversity status, within the urban ecosystems.
the Canadian context. Nature Experiences and Bio-affinity Early childhood nature-related experiences are a determinative factor that can result in adult pro-environmental attitudes and behaviors (Giusti et al., 2014). Several studies have found that positive and frequent childhood nature-
