What can be done to conserve biodiversity regarding livestock: restoration, shift in diets, farming methods that integrate the natural environment and allow natural habitat, preserve pristine habitats and develop corridors between them and the livestock. Manure flows into the ocean: the antibiotics flow into the environment, fertilizers and chemicals contaminate the water in the ocean, and the nutrients like nitrogen causes eutrophication that leads to algae blooms, loss of marine animals, and dead zones. Green water: water temporarily contained within soil and vegetation. Loss of green water can lead to land degradation and deforestation. A lack of water in evapotranspiration return and soil moisture. Blue water: surface runoff and groundwater consumed from freshwater. Loss of blue water can lead to a lack of freshwater in human and aquatic use. Grey water: the volume of polluted water and the amount required to dilute pollution.
