In addition, there is an evident lack of infrastructure and institutional support (centres, institutes, agencies and public administration bodies) for adequate protection and sustainable management of biological diversity. Institutions lack cooperation and networking. A framework for the implementation of environmental conventions is not functional. Since 1954 in Bosnia and Herzegovina, there have been 153 areas that belong to one of the protection levels, including protected landscapes, monuments of nature or protected habitats (e.g. forest seed components). However, the classification and registration of these areas are still not in line with the new legislation.
