Planning Africa 2006 conference: Making the connections,14phttp://hdl.handle.net/10204/1043Results from the National Spatial Biodiversity Assessment (NSBA) have highlighted the poor condition of South Africa's main rivers for conservation of biodiversity and that conservation efforts in South Africa have centred primarily on terrestrial systems. An integrated perspective (including linkages with wetlands and estuaries) is needed if biodiversity strategies and plans are to be successful. Ultimately, the conservation of freshwater biodiversity resources in South Africa will require an integrated approach to land and water management. This would require implementing agencies to align policy and strategies.enSpatial planningWater resources ManagementBiodiversity conservationRiver conservationFreshwater resourcesBiodiversity protectionBook ChapterMaree, G., Roux, D., & Nel, J.
