Not necessarily the same thing as a naturalist, honestly. Naturalists are just untrained or not formally trained biologists/ecologists essentially. Some of them do tend to favor the environmentalist mindset, though. But then again, so do some biologists/ecologists.

Environmentalists come from all walks of life, and in my experience, most lack any real ecological knowledge. They just latch onto some cause and run with it. Like trying to restore large predators and expecting things to go just fine, or protecting some fish that has no ecological value whatsoever just so they can weaponize it to stop development.
