preservers
Those who conserve
Preservers are people or things that keep something from harm, decay, or destruction.
A life preserver keeps you afloat; a food preserver extends shelf life.
The word often appears in compounds: forest preservers, peace preservers.
Those who maintain traditions or protect endangered things are preservers of heritage or species.
