ecologist
- /iːˈkɒləd͡ʒɪst/
- /ɪˈkɒləd͡ʒɪst/
Where it comes from
From eco- + -logist. The less common sense “environmentalist” might be from association with deep ecology, or influenced by Romance-language equivalents such as Spanish ecologista (“environmentalist”).
noun ecologists · œcologist
- A scholar of ecology. Planting trees to combat climate change is a waste of time, according to a study by ecologists who say that most forests do not have any overall effect on global temperature, while those furthest from the equator could actually be making global warming worse.
- An environmentalist (one who advocates for the protection of the environment). Protest actions of this type served to take debate, and the Basque ecologists, onto the street and to encourage people to carry out principled actions such as the eco-sabotage at Itoiz.
