Who are we?

The Resurgence Trust is a UK-based educational charity that has become a flagship voice for the environmental movement across the globe. Our mission is to inspire each other to help make a difference and find positive solutions to the global challenges we now face.

To do this, we publish Resurgence & Ecologist magazine, run the Ecologist and Resurgence websites and host regular events – such as the annual Festival of Wellbeing and the Resurgence Summer Camps – not just to share our collective concerns about the environment, social justice, peace and ethical living, but to find solutions.

Once a voice in the wilderness – Resurgence magazine was founded in 1966 – we have long campaigned for a greater awareness of the challenges facing humanity and for a greater focus on solutions to these challenges. We have been proud to present leading writers, thinkers and activists on these issues, in our magazine, on our websites and at our events.

And of course, we do all this on a shoestring, with a small but dedicated team of editors and others.

To help us continue this important work, please find out more about The Resurgence Trust and join as a member.

You can also support our work with a small, regular donation. Your donation will be used to support The Resurgence Trust which is commited to maintaining The Ecologist website as a free, independent source of information on the environmental issues that really matter. Donate here
