ELI5: Why do conservatives not typical push for conservation of the environment and of natural resources?

This is not just a semantic question. Conservatives favour family, the economy, a strong country and a continuation of the status quo. It would seem that the degradation of the environment and the overuse of resources would be a being threat to these values than, say, terrorism. So why is conservation of the environment and of natural resources not generally a prominent part of the conservative platform?

Generally conservatives are against regulation of business, and conservation of the environment requires businesses to be regulated so that they don't exploit it. This is a case where their economic stance of "making laws that regulate businesses is bad" outweighs any other considerations.
