Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ethicists who believe that the guidelines for making environmental decisions depend on the specific context tends to be relativists who acknowledge cultural and social factors that can influence decision-making. Conservationists and preservationists are focused on protecting the environment but may not emphasize the importance of context. Universalists believe that there are universal ethical principles that apply in all contexts. Leopold's land ethic emphasizes the importance of humans' relationship with the land but does not necessarily prioritize context specificity in decision-making.
