Defend, conserve (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

protect

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">I believe this is a double definition.<br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">defend</span>' is the first definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I know that defend is a more specific form of the action protect)</span><br/ ><br/ >'<span class="explanation-format__original">conserve</span>' is the second definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(thesaurus)</span><br/ ><br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for protect that I've seen before include "Guard" , "Keep safe" , "Shield from danger" , "Keep from danger" , "Defend" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
