Many people lump anyone that is interested in animal/ nature/earth welfare
under one umbrella. This is not right, as there is a big difference in the
approach used by each group to accomplish their work. And even in some cases
what the final result should be. I will try to explain the major differences
and give you a start in understanding the passions that these people are
feeling for their causes.

To keep and protect from damage, change or waste; Conservation is the
protection of plants and animals, natural areas, from the damaging effects of
human activity. Conservation is also the preservation of valuable natural
substances that exist in limited amounts.

studies and has knowledge of the natural environment, and who wants to preserve
it and prevent damage to it.
