ments, which, in turn, have been divided into tertiary catchments. Finally, all tertiary catchments have been divided into quaternary catchments. A total of 1 946 quaternary catchments have been identified for South Africa. These quaternary catchments are the finest unit used by DWAF in its ecological studies. REFUGIA Localities or habitat patches that become isolated by natural or man-induced processes and provide, (usually temporary), refuges for one or more threatened species. STEWARDSHIP A formalised programme of land care, usually between a State agency for conserving biodiversity and/or the environment, and private landowners. The programme usually involves mutual incentives to achieve conservation of natural resources, often including economic benefits derived from the use of natural habitats for their material resources and for tourism. SUBCATCHMENT A subdivision of a quaternary catchment based on GIS modelling procedures, using runoff and digital elevation models to derive these as planning units for aquatic assessment. It is at a finer scale than, and nested within quaternary catchments. SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Integration of social, economic and environmental factors into planning, decision making and implementation, to ensure that development is balanced to serve the needs of present and future generations. THREATENED (biodiversity features) Threatened biodiversity features are those considered to be ‘critically endangered’, ‘endangered’ or ‘vulnerable’ in terms of standard IUCN definitions of conservation status. Such species, ecosystems or ecological processes are referred to collectively and individually as ‘threatened’. GLOSSARY Axvii GLOSSARY
