environmental activists
Nature's vocal defenders
Environmental activists are people who advocate for protecting the natural world—organizing protests, lobbying governments, or taking direct action against pollution, deforestation, climate change, and other ecological threats.
The term ranges from mainstream conservationists to radical groups willing to break laws: Environmental activists chained themselves to the bulldozers.
Sometimes used dismissively by opponents.
