Access to clean water is becoming one of the most urgent challenges of the 21st century. Traditional systems struggle with energy intensity, toxic residues, and infrastructure limits. At Anima, we explore how nature’s 3.8 billion years of R&D can inspire radically better ways to purify and manage water. From the salt-excreting glands of mangroves to the ultra-efficient capture systems of desert beetles, biological strategies reveal powerful solutions to filtration, desalination, and pollution treatment. Our stealth projects use this intelligence to tackle modern water issues like PFAS contamination, heavy metals, and wastewater reuse, paving the way toward decentralized, resilient, and regenerative water systems.
