Readers' 'Groups • Topics for Discussion

During your group meeting you could discuss an article from Resurgence & Ecologist. You could read out passages and summarise the salient points, or watch a Resurgence video clip.
On this page, you'll find a selection of articles that can be used as the basis for discussion. Ideally, you should circulate the article before the meeting. What's important is that everyone has the opportunity to share their views on the chosen topic.
At the heart of the Resurgence message is hope for the future, so we encourage you to consider positive perspectives on the key issues you discuss. Resurgence aims to inspire and enthuse, not just inform. So remember to steer a course towards accord, optimism, and shared joy at your meetings!
