The conservation news texts contained language expressions of events or conservation written in accordance with the idea of the vision of conservation-based university (UNNES). There were language expressions in the conservation texts related to the environment and the ideology. Theoretically, reciprocal relationship between environment and language was studied in ecolinguistics. Within the scope of ecolinguistics, the relationship between language and environment laid at the level of lexicon. The data of this research was fragments of conservation news texts presumed as ecolexicon from the mass media: page www.unnes.ac.id, Suara Merdeka, and Kompas since March 2010 until March 2017. The data collection techniques were scrutinizing, documentation, and interview. The data analysis used distributional method and identity method of ecolinguistics and interactive analysis. Based on the data analysis, the types of ecolexicon in conservation news texts in mass media were: (1) metaphor, (2) personification (3) euphemism, (4) dysphism, (5) synecdoche, (6) hyperbole, (7) metonymy, (8) association, (9) pleonasm, (10) antithesis. Therefore, the recommendations were: (1) conservation ecolexicon needed to be used in the mass media texts in order to give knowledge and comprehension to the society concerning environmental condition and (2) the types of ecolexicon expression in the conservation news texts could be utilized as teaching materials by teacher or lecturer in language learning or other learning at school or in college to enrich the text genre and foster the value of love to the environment
