What is Biodiversity+ Design?
Designed in support of the United Nations Biodiversity and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Biodiversity+ Design invites designers, brands, and communities to integrate biodiversity into every decision — a framework for creating products, spaces, and experiences that work with nature to strengthen the ecosystems we depend on.
It’s a mindset shift to reimagine design for resilience — guided by three principles:
Beyond-Self
Design is about weaving together ideas, stories, and communities, not about individual heroism.
Beyond-Human
Design thrives in connection with all living and non-living systems.
Beyond-Time
Design is never finished; it evolves across generations.
Around 1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction, many within decades, more than ever before in human history.
TOGETHER WE CAN REVERSE THESE TRENDS

The Official
Color of Biodiversity
PANTONE 1775 C — developed by the Pantone Color Institute in collaboration with TEALEAVES — was created in support of Biodiversity+ Design. This vivid pink draws inspiration from the world’s oldest pigment, discovered in ancient marine rocks of West Africa.
The color embodies the richness of Earth’s biodiversity while drawing attention to its alarming decline. More than a hue, it is a call to action — inviting designers, businesses, and communities to integrate Biodiversity+ Design thinking, and to create with nature, not against it.
