Biodiversity stewardship is an approach to enter into agreements with private and communal landowners to protect and manage land in biodiversity priority areas, led by conservation authorities in South Africa (SANBI, 2014). In particular, the Protected Environment biodiversity agreement type is valuable in agricultural landscapes. Protected Environments can be declared across multiple properties and can allow for some forms of production on the land, as long as this is integrated into an approved management plan (SANBI, 2014).
