Environmentalism is a concern with the preservation of the human and natural environment, especially from pollution, and the ethics and politics associated with this.
Environmentalism has been described as including the protection of natural resources, ecosystems, human life, and indigenous peoples. Contemporary environmentalists often seek to achieve these ends by influencing the political process by lobbying, education, activism and setting an example. They can also promote alternative ways or social change in society with day by day actions. Some of the issues of concern for the environmental movement are pollution, species extinction, waste reduction, recycling, the threat of global warming and ozone depletion, and genetically engineered crops.
Ecologism is a recently coined synonym used by some authors for environmentalism, and the related term "ecology" is often used in a similar way. Some writers, however, contrast the two terms, "environmentalism" having more anthropocentric overtones and "ecology" having more "biocentric" ones.*
