Resurgence & Ecologist magazine has been at the forefront of environmental reportage for over half a century. A multi-disciplinary resource, Resurgence & Ecologist explores the most pressing issues of the time through the lens of politics, economics and philosophy as well as social justice, ecology, sociology, sustainability and the arts. Providing diverse, inclusive and global views, its 50+ year archive offers both a retrospective and contemporary analysis of current affairs.

Remaining true to its roots as one of first and leading exponents of systems theory, Resurgence & Ecologist seeks to point out the links between issues as diverse as the climate crisis, war, pharmaceuticals, corporate fraud, globalisation, nuclear power, intensive farming, pollution and the power of mass media. Ahead of its time, this pioneering publication played a leading role in diagnosing the environmental crises that have become all too apparent today.

Resurgence & Ecologist brings together a broad range of acclaimed writers such as Vandana Shiva, Noam Chomsky, Bill Mckibben, Mya-Rose Craig, E.F. Schumacher, Caroline Lucas, James Lovelock, Louisa Adjoa Parker, Robert McFarlane, George Monbiot and Winona Laduke

In a world of political turbulence, social unrest and environmental challenges Resurgence & Ecologist is an invaluable resource for any institutional library.

Unexpected Pollinators
Issue 350 • May/June 2025

In this issue we celebrate pollinators – large and small – and not just the ones you would expect us to include. Bees and butterflies, of course, but did you know slugs, snails, mice, bats, lizards, beetles and earwigs are important pollinators too. As are wind and water.

And then we extend the idea of ‘Unexpected Pollinators’ to introduce some of the two-legged variety (humans) who are working to spread the word and encourage others to not only champion the natural world but recognise what we stand to lose if we don’t all work together to protect our planet.

You will meet Dax Dasilva, a Canadian Tech entrepreneur who is using his influence to work with conservationist Jane Goodall to help protect Indigenous wisdom in the Amazon, and you’ll also be introduced to influencer and author, Lydia Millen, who uses her high fashion platform to share her love of gardening and bees with her followers. Both unexpected pollinators and, perhaps, equally unexpected champions of the natural world.

In our Slow Read, psychiatrist Iain McGilchrist explains why we must strive to be worthy of trust – the single quality that he believes will steer us out of the mega-crises we face together, and in our Art & Culture section, writer Lucy Shrimpton visits Fenix, the new museum of human migration in Rotterdam to discover more stories of human displacement and movement.

Our special theme is a celebration of many facets of pollinators and pollination – from Anisha Jaya Minocha’s deeply personal reflection on her experience of bhramari (yoga’s calming bee breath) to an artist’s statement from Freddie Yauner who often paints with pollen to highlight the plight of pollinators and the importance of biodiversity in agriculture.

Once again, we offer a though-provoking issue with the hope there is something for everyone and plenty to get you thinking about the way you too can be a pollinator and champion of right thinking and thus, of the natural world.
