Conservation psychology is the scientific study of the mutual relationships, and the connections between humans and the rest of nature, with a particular focus on how to encourage conservation of the natural world. This field is less of a specialty area within psychology itself but a growing way to help scientists of all fields come together and help each other and the community better understand the earth and what can be done to preserve it. It is a field to help understand why people hurt or help the environment and what can be done to change that. Using the term "conservation psychology" only refers to scientists in any fields of psychology that have understandable knowledge of environment and the effects humans have on it to use their abilities in "greening" psychology, and by making society ecologically sustainable (Myers 2002). The science of conservation psychology is oriented toward environmental sustainability, which includes concerns like conservation of resources, conservation of ecosystems, and quality of life issues for humans and other species (Saunders 2003).
