## Concrete anchor

Conservation Movement belongs to the **Environmental & Climate Politics** family. It is treated as a specific political object, role, institution, tactic, event, ideology, or mechanism before any symbolic transfer is made.

## What it does

Conservation Movement politicizes shared ecological conditions, unequal exposure, and intergenerational risk, changing who can act, what becomes visible, and which costs are distributed to others.

## Who gains and who loses power

The mechanism can increase the capacity of actors able to use Conservation Movement, while shifting cost, delay, risk, exclusion, or dependence toward actors with less authority, information, organization, money, or safe access. The distribution is conditional, not an essence of the node.

## Archetypal function

**The Long Horizon.** Conservation Movement is mapped as the long horizon: it politicizes shared ecological conditions, unequal exposure, and intergenerational risk.

## Gift

expands the constituency to future people and living systems; through Conservation Movement, that capacity becomes available for deliberate use.

## Wound / Shadow

turns urgency into technocracy, sacrifice zones, or moral purity; Conservation Movement can then reproduce the very arrangement it claims to change.

## Conditions

- scale and jurisdiction are explicit
- affected people and absent stakeholders are named
- time horizon and countermoves are considered

## Strategic meaning

Use Conservation Movement to identify the operative target, resource, dependency, decision forum, and likely countermove. Ask what would make the mechanism stronger, weaker, more legitimate, or less necessary.

## Divinatory meaning

The Long Horizon enters through Conservation Movement. Read for the capacity seeking expression, the cost displaced from view, and the relationship that changes if the frame moves.

**Question:** What changes when Conservation Movement becomes the unit of analysis rather than background?

## Game function

**leverage.** Reveal one hidden dependency connected to Conservation Movement; another player names a countermove. Initiative 1.

## Relationships

- **counteracts — Environmental Movement:** Environmental Movement counteracts Conservation Movement by changing authority, participation, resources, information, legitimacy, timing, or the cost of cooperation. _(synthesis; supported)_
- **amplifies — Environmental Justice:** Conservation Movement amplifies Environmental Justice by changing authority, participation, resources, information, legitimacy, timing, or the cost of cooperation. _(synthesis; supported)_
- **depends on — Sortition:** Sortition depends on Conservation Movement by changing authority, participation, resources, information, legitimacy, timing, or the cost of cooperation. _(interpretive; tentative)_

## Countermaps and polarity prompts

- Read Conservation Movement from the viewpoint of the actor who bears its cost.
- Reverse cause and symptom: what if Conservation Movement is an effect of the system it appears to drive?
- Change the clock: what looks different over a day, an election cycle, a generation, and a century?
- Ask when the Gift becomes the Wound through scale, secrecy, intensity, latency, or unequal reciprocity.
