Persons who work to preserve ancient or endangered languages are called language preservationists . Clarification : Ethnologue , a reference work published by SIL International , has cataloged the world 's known living languages , and it estimates that 417 languages are on the verge of extinction . Preservationist is also sometimes used in the natural environmentalist field , but while the natural environment conservationist movements preserve ecosystems and the natural environment , this movement is widely known as conservation or environmentalism . Clarification : A key difference between the Preservationist and Conservationist environmentalist schools is this : Preservationists view the environment as having intrinsic value that should be preserved by making as little change to it as possible . Conservationists view the environment as having instrumental value that can be of help to people , and generally accept Gifford Pinchot 's notion of sustainable yield : that man can harvest some forest or animal products from a natural environment on a regular basis without compromising the long - health of the ecosystem . Preservationism has been defined by Richard Heinberg in his book Powerdown : Options and Actions for a Post-Carbon World as distinguishing survivalist groups who wish merely to survive a collapse of civilization from preservationist communities who wish to preserve as much of human culture as is possible in the event of collapse . Clarification : The idea of preservationist communities is part of a broader strategy in which individuals achieve independence from the centralized power grid , forming sustainable communities that could provide mutual support in the event of critical depletion of non-renewable resources .
