looking to nature for inspiration

These Canadian scientists aren't the only ones looking to nature for inspiration. More and more inventors are also discovering that the natural world contains many useful designs.

Could I say "turning to nature for inspiration" instead of the underlined part without making a change in meaning? Thanks.

well, I guess, there might be a slight difference between using "looking" and "turning". Do we imply that they look at somewhere else for inspiration and then turn to nature if we say "turning".
