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.

Issue 349 • March/April 2025

In this issue we celebrate World Rewilding Day (20 March) with a Resurgence-style reflection of how Nature will quickly restore itself given a chance and how rewilding and renaturing both offer that chance.

We report on Scotland’s steps to become the world’s first rewilded nation, and we introduce other ideas about the rewilding of ocean, forest and field, and even the soundscape outside your door!

In our Slow Read we consider how we can rewild the way we think, with an article by Tom Mansfield, creator of the potent Cards for Life.

In our Ecologist section we introduce the Planetary Democrats campaigning for Nature to be given a vote in political processes, and in Connected Life we mark International Women’s Day with an article featuring Indigenous women activists who explain how, in their culture, the Amazon forest is female.

Finally, in our Arts section we preview The Wonderful World of Soil, an exhibition showcasing the work of artists digging deep to discover the wonders of the earth beneath our feet, and we introduce the work of S.C. Flynn, whose poems are often about species extinction and the need for us all to protect the planet we love.
