The 2009 Second National Report listed the key problems that the country faces in the area of biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and which are fully in line with the observations and conclusions of the second EPR mission. The main goal was to identify existing information relevant for the identification and selection of the main biodiversity values and areas in BiH, in line with the EU Biodiversity Protection Standards (i.e. the Nature Directives). This initial set of data, if updated and maintained, could provide a basis for a biodiversity information system.
