The Earth Liberation Front (ELF) claimed credit for the October 1998 arson of a ski resort in Vail, Colorado. ELF said the resort was expanding into the habitat of the lynx, an endangered cat. Which type of terrorism does this act represent?

This type of terrorism represents eco-terrorism. According to the group's motto "use economic sabotage and guerrilla warfare to stop the exploitation and destruction of the environment." The organization is now international but started in Brighton, England. However, people who support the group would not define them as "eco-terrorists", but as an "eco-defense" group which is extremely subjective.
