The allowable cut is mostly realized in the high forests, with an overall volume of 2,674,336 m3, around 87.2 per cent of the total cut. Having an allowable cut that is less than the annual increment is positive in terms of providing better conservation of forest resources. Preliminary data of the second state forest inventory of Bosnia and Herzegovina gives 1,598,615 ha forest and forestland area in Republika Srpska, of which 1,384,530 ha is overgrown forestland.
