CONSERVATIONISTS vs. ENVIRONMENTALISTS

by Dimity

Defining the Differences:

Many people lump anyone that is interested in animal/ nature/earth welfare under one umbrella. This is not right, as there is a big difference in the approach used by each group to accomplish their work. And even in some cases what the final result should be. I will try to explain the major differences and give you a start in understanding the passions that these people are feeling for their causes.

Conservationists:: To keep and protect from damage, change or waste;�Conservation is the protection of plants and animals, natural areas, from the damaging effects of human activity.�Conservation is also the preservation of valuable natural substances that exist in limited amounts.
Environmentalists:: An environmentalist is a person who has an especially strong interest in, studies and has knowledge of the natural environment, and who wants to preserve it and prevent damage to it.
