Antonyms
preservación
The act or sport of pursuing and killing or capturing wild animals; hunting. It can also refer to the wild animals themselves that are hunted, commonly known as game. While conceptually related to 'capture', 'caza' as a noun primarily denotes the broader activity or the animals involved, rather than just the isolated act of taking possession.
