PRINCIPLES
• Focus on priority biodiversity and protected area expansion areas to ensure the best use of limited capacity and resources, aiming for formal declarations on high biodiversity value land.
• Support South Africa’s broader socio-economic objectives through the land reform process and encouraging socio-economic benefits, either through job creation, or improved land management.

PRINCIPLES (Cont.)• Biodiversity stewardship agreements are voluntary
commitments between landowners/users and conservation agencies. A relationship of trust and support should be fostered.
• The success of biodiversity stewardship rests on partnerships and co-operative governance between conservation agencies and various other governmental agencies, NGOs, landowners/users, companies, etc.
• Monitoring implementation is critical in ensuring security for biodiversity.
