Here is the contrast, Environmentalist thinking is something that is relatively recent.

Conservationists for example support hunting to keep the population of animals in the wild healthy.

Environmentalists want humans to stay out of wild areas period regardless of the impact on the wild populations of animals. Environmentalist believe that humans always cause a negative impact on the Environment.

Bush is more a conservationist instead of a environmentalist when looking at his proposed forest management policy.

I'm all for allowing the lumber industry to harvest trees if they adhere to conservationist methods. What is lacking here though is a coherent policy towards polluters and the resulting toxic waste dumps created by them. If you look at post #30, you'll see what I mean..
