The East Asian Biosphere Reserve Network (EABRN) was established in response to a call for strengthened cooperation between UNESCO Member States in the Asia Pacific region in the implementation of the Action Plan for Biosphere Reserves. EABRN was officially launched in 1995. The five founding members of the network – China, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), Japan, Mongolia and the Republic of Korea (ROK) – were joined by the Russian Federation in 1998 and Kazakhstan in 2011. The Secretariat for the EABRN has been based at the UNESCO Beijing Office since 2003.

As an institute combining scientific research with professional services, HIST – and its host institution AIR - have the capacity of acquiring airborne and space borne remote sensing data and images, and is committed to exploring advanced technologies for earth observation and associated applications. One of its research priorities is the application of remote sensing for Biosphere Reserve management.
