Tropical biodiversity contains, on several fronts, possible disruptive technologies whose trends will change our daily lives in the coming decades. In addition to the clearer applications, such as the development of new drugs from the study of substances produced by plants, amphibians and reptiles, or the use of enzymes to improve agribusiness production processes, there is also the global trend of biomimetic research, in which artificial equipment mimic animal and plant procedures developed in the long evolutionary process.
