Summary/Abstract: When it comes to general climate in Bosnia and Herzegovina, ecological awareness is very low, both of the community and of the political structures - it is evident that they are not well informed about the concept of the environmental protection. The main reasons for the low perception of ecological problems are common to all countries in transition followed by economic crises, reparation of the basic infrastructures, lack of eco-public opinion, eco-education, culture of living and generally conformism and latency of Bosnian community as a whole. Having in mind the crucial problems that had caused low perception of the environmental protection, we must admit that the media, informing the community and creating the public opinion, are also responsible for current state. The role of the media and the community in solving ecology problems is discussed in this text.
