nature enthusiast
Wildlife appreciation person
A nature enthusiast is someone with a strong interest in the natural world—wildlife, plants, landscapes, ecosystems.
The term covers anyone who actively enjoys or studies nature, from casual hikers to serious birdwatchers: Nature enthusiasts flocked to the park during the eagle migration.
It's a broad, neutral label that doesn't imply professional expertise.
