Just as an example now that I'm awake. I have a peer who has done a great deal of work on medieval sustaintable forestry - the way that communities (she works on a monastic community) used forests as sustainable resources. You harvested wood. You raised pigs. You foraged. But you made sure to keep the forest a vibrant, viable, resource that would be there for future generations.
The 'rape and despoil' method is a relatively modern phenomenon.
"Sustainability" is the key phrase, over conservation, and the movement is growing. The reason it's doing so is money - it both saves and makes money.
