Investor's action perturbed eco-warrior (15)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

conservationist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'eco-warrior' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'investor's action perturbed' is the wordplay.
'perturbed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'investors'+'action'='investorsaction'
'investorsaction' anagrammed gives 'CONSERVATIONIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for conservationist that I've seen before include "Protector of environment" , "One preserving the environment and wildlife" , "One who preserves and repairs significant artefacts" .)
