conservationists
Wildlife preservation advocates
Conservationists are people who advocate for protecting natural resources, wildlife, and ecosystems from destruction or depletion.
The term applies broadly—from scientists studying endangered species to activists opposing development in wilderness areas: Conservationists have fought to preserve the wetlands for decades.
Conservation emphasizes careful management and sustainable use rather than strict preservation.
