The newly launched Space Technologies for Natural and Cultural Heritage (HIST) center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), will apply space and remote sensing technologies for the observation, documentation and conservation of UNESCO World Heritage sites.

"This is a new field of action," Dr Mario Hernandez, senior program specialist for remote sensing activities in UNESCO, says.

"It can help monitor the changes in world heritage sites, contribute significantly to the enforcement of international rules, to better define local/national legislation, and facilitate policy making."
