Over the past few years, while preparing the NBSAP document for the first time, three strategic directions have been identified for preserving the biodiversity of genes, species and ecosystems in Bosnia and Herzegovina....

Topic: Nature and biodiversity

Published: 26 Nov 2010 Modified: 11 May 2020

Strategic direction 1: Decrease biodiversity loss

Target 1.1 Conservation of ecosystems and landscape diversity

Target 1.2 Conservation of species diversity

Target 1.3 Conservation of gene diversity

Strategic direction 2: Set up a conservation system and ensure sustainable use of biodiversity

Target 2.1 Arrange financing to support the system for conservation of biodiversity

Target 2.2 Set up efficient institutional framework

Target 2.3 Adopt an inter-sectoral approach to nature management

Target 2.4 Exchange scientific and technological information in the field of biodiversity

Target 2.5 Maintain traditional knowledge and practices.

Strategic direction 3: Decrease pressures on biodiversity

Target 3.1 Control habitat conversion

Target 3.2 Monitor the effects of global climate change

Target 3.3 Control invasive species in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Target 3.4 Raise public awareness

Implementation of the NBSAP document has not yet begun in Bosnia and Herzegovina. For this reason it is premature to discuss the extent to which objectives have been realised. The Strategy was prepared for the period 2008-2015. However, as the document has not yet been adopted, the results will be delayed. Once the NBSAP has been implemented, this will imply a significant change in the state of biodiversity in the future.
