Do not worry, here is the difference between the Geographer and Environmentalist.

Geographer is the person or we can say that social scientist who is engaged in compiling geographic and topographic information of a particular location or region.

The information collected by the Geographers helps in case of Disaster recovery.

Geographers are mainly interested in studying the relationship between human society and natural environment. They mainly conduct research about human activities such as ethnic distribution, economic activities etc. Also construct and interpret maps.

Now on the other hand, Environmentalists are mainly interested in studying different factors affecting our environment such as pollution, conservation of natural resources.

These persons are busy in forming the green policies for the different companies so as to protect our environment. They make people aware how to use natural resources in most efficient manner.
