person who cares about the environment
A person who cares a lot about nature and wants to protect the Earth from damage.
Vzorec užití:
[someone] is an environmentalist
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "environmental" (an adjective) with "environmentalist" (a person). For example, "She is very environmental" is incorrect; it should be "She is an environmentalist" or "She cares about the environment." Another mistake is using it for things instead of people, like "an environmentalist problem" instead of "an environmental problem."
Synonyma
conservationist (Often focuses more on protecting wildlife and natural resources; slightly less political-sounding than environmentalist in some contexts.)
|
eco-activist (Emphasizes active campaigning and protest; sounds more strongly activist than environmentalist.)
Antonyma
polluter (Refers to a person, group, or company that causes environmental damage instead of trying to prevent it.)

Learners may not realize that this professional/scientific sense is more narrow and technical.

In formal job descriptions, prefer terms like "environmental scientist" or "environmental consultant" if the role is strictly professional.
Synonyma
environmental scientist (More specific and clearly scientific; does not include non-scientist activists, while environmentalist sometimes does in this sense.)
|
environmental consultant (Refers especially to a paid professional who advises companies or governments on environmental issues.)
Antonyma
industrial developer (A professional focused on building or expanding industry, often creating environmental impacts that environmentalists assess or criticize.)
