What is an environmentalist?

Question

I would like to have a job where im able to care for the earth,do some planting and experiment abt the earth.is that call an environmentalist?

Answer 1

An environmentalist is not a job, but character trait. Calling yourself an environmentalist just means you believe that taking care of our natural resources is a good thing to do.

I think what you want to be is an environmental scientist, they get to do all the things you mentioned.

Answer 2

An environmentalist is a person who care about environmental issues - it's not a job or a career.  What you describe could be any of the following, depending on what it is you want to do:

- Environmental scientist

(does research in the environmental sciences)

- Conservation biologist

(works with conservation of wildlife and wildlife habitats)

- Ecologist

(studies the interactions between animals and their environment)

- Research assistant

(helps scientists with their research)

- Forest ranger

(Looks after the forests, including cutting and planting trees)

- Nature reserve warden

(Looks after nature reserves)

- Conservation volunteer

(Helps with various conservation activities. Not a career as such as it's unpaid, but it can lead to a paid job)

...and probably a lot of other types of jobs too!

Have a look at some careers websites for more ideas, e.g.

Hope that helps!
