By taking proper steps at the opening of a mine or drilling of a well, habitat loss can be reduced and habitat can be restored when the mine is closed and the well is capped.
Farmers can reduce pesticide use and capture and treat runoff before it contaminates habitat.
Both ranchers and farmers can use water conservation techniques. Cities can treat and recycle waste-water and many solid wastes. Factories and industries can treat water and air to remove pollutants before they leave the site and escape into the water we all drink and the air we all breathe. Recycle and dispose of pollutants properly and practice good water conservation.
