Summary:[...]there is less and less agricultural land. In relation to the five main land cover categories (artificial surfaces, agricultural areas, forests and semi-natural areas, wetlands and water bodies), the data show that in the period from 2000 to 2018 artificial areas increased spatial coverage, forests and semi-natural areas as well, while agricultural land decreased. According to the last census from 2013, B&H has about 3.53 million inhabitants (ASB&H, 2016), which is a significant loss in comparison with the previous census from 1991, when it had 4.37 million inhabitants. According to the FB&H Bureau of Statistics, 24 154 citizens or 4 026 per year left B&H in the same period.
