The purpose of this research was to figure the benefits of research on termite nests for ecosystems and science. The method used in this study was a qualitative method with a literature review and empirical approach. Based on the results, the termite nest contains a biogenic product, namely C-organic produced by Schedorhinotheres spp. As a source of food and energy for microorganisms, termite nests also contain Actinomycetes containing bioactive compounds. B. germanus species nest structure and architecture in its nest-building strategy reduces the risk of predation. The architecture of the mound has a large effect on the temperature of the nest. Termite nests are also useful as a biomimicry approach to make various architecture inspiration, the most famous example is the Eastgate Center in Harare, in Zimbabwe.
