A few individuals regard themselves to be
conservationists. A conservation ethic emphasizes on
sustainable use, allocation, and protection of resources. It is
important to direct attention on maintaining the health of
ecosystems and their biological diversity.
Other considers themselves as environmentalists. The
environmental ethic is a varied movement that is scientific,
social, and political. An environmentalist is a person who
works actively to preserve and protect the environment from
destruction or pollution. Compromise is usually seen in making
Environmental decisions. Such decisions may be acceptable
from a scientific or economic point of view may not be
acceptable from a political point of view or vice versa. These
two parties involved in making environmental decisions
sometimes debate and argue their respective viewpoints, when
a decision is arrived at; both parties have presented their
grounds and reach (hopefully) a healthy compromise. Example
