"Conservationist" was the word I remember being used before "environmentalist" came into vogue.

That's an excellent way to put it, Josh. I was a silviculturist, a naturalist who concentrates on managing stands of trees and forests instead of individual trees like an arborist does. Environmentalists mean well, but they are often ill-informed in the matters they are concerned with, and completely clueless when it comes to both economics and the role of humans in the ecosystem. Some of them are just political activists making hay with the most convenient issue they can find. And you are exactly right, ecosystems CONSTANTLY change. If they didn't we'd have no life on earth at all right now.
