National Report Card: Bosnia and Herzegovina
Bosnia and Herzegovina are home to the southeastern arm of the Alps, with mountainous terrain that borders the Adriatic Sea. Most of the country is used for human activities, in its majority by rainfed agriculture.
The rarity of marine mammals is also high. Challenges to biodiversity include air pollution; deforestation and illegal logging; inadequate wastewater and flood management; and land mines.
