Conservationists think environmentalists sound too liberal đ
Discussion
Explain. (It was a serious question, not tongue in cheek). I started to say to someone earlier tonight that I felt more affiliated with one than the other. But then stepped back and wondered why and what they even meant.
No no I know. I think the environmentalists insinuation is more encompassing of actively fighting climate change and a variety of issues around environment and climate, ties in more with activism. I view conservationist as more tied to land/water, tangible âprotectionsâ of land, and perhaps not as much in the activists/combat climate change camp
I know some conservationists that are more skeptical of climate change (or the level of concern) compared to âenvironmentalists.â
Ok. This was my basic premise as well.
Conservationist = someone who cares about preserving wild spaces (potentially for a multitude of reasons)
Environmentalist = person who fights against climate change (potentially with lots of fear about what climate change might mean)
I know thatâs somewhat unfair but⌠đ¤ˇââď¸ feels true?
