ecologist
This term refers specifically to a professional or academic scientist. While a person may be passionate about the environment, they are not typically called an ecologist unless they possess formal training in the scientific study of ecosystems and biological interactions.
In professional discourse, the term is neutral and objective. It is distinct from "environmentalist," which often carries a political or activist connotation; an ecologist focuses on the empirical data and mechanisms of nature, whereas an environmentalist focuses on the protection and preservation of nature.
