Abstract
Wetlands are disappearing and it is an international dilemma. Many efforts have been made to ensure
its protection and conservation, including rehabilitation. Rehabilitation measures have been adopted in
policies of various jurisdictions. In South Africa, the wetlands legislative framework is fragmented. It
was submitted that a wetlands policy is in the pipeline for South Africa. As opposed to the research on
the general protection of this resources, Part 1 of this research aimed, by way of a documentary analysis
of the legislative wetland framework, journal articles, books and case law, to provide what the extent
of the fragmentation, specifically, rehabilitation measures were, as well as the effect thereof. Part 2 of
this research explicitly focused on rehabilitation measures taken by three other jurisdictions, as well as
a design for such in South Africa’s envisaged policy.
