Nowadays, land monitoring systems for the whole BIH have not been developed and no historical data are available, which greatly complicates any estimate related to land condition in BIH or its Entities. The shortage of existing soil data at the state, entity, canton or local level revealed many challenges, especially when it comes to the implementation of international commitments and uncertainties in reporting to UNCCD. Currently, BIH must rely on global databases for reporting processes, despite the uncertainty of global data to the reality of local land condition.
