The Marxan Planning Platform.
Democratizing spatial conservation planning.
The Marxan Planning Platform (MaPP) is the world’s leading spatial conservation planning service, designed to include anyone, anywhere, to make evidence-based conservation planning decisions.
Users can upload relevant data to their goals, define planning areas and units, set conservation targets and costs, identify conservation gaps, and collaboratively examine solutions and trade-offs in the cloud!
Empowering collaborative spatial planning projects for land, freshwater, and ocean conservation.

Safeguarding biodiversity and community needs
With the help of the Marxan Planning Platform, on-the-ground partners, scientists, and NGOs are supporting the government of Angola in the early stages of reconciling the Upper Okavango River Basin’s rich biodiversity and community development.

Cloud-based conservation planning tool, Marxan creates and compares real-time conservation scenarios.

Developing the Marxan Planning Platform.


Delivered with impact.
Designing a new conservation planning precedent.
Thanks to creating a new intuitive design, we are enabling stakeholders of many diverse backgrounds to take advantage of MaPP’s comprehensive conservation planning functionalities.
We're on the brink of enabling evidence-based planning globally, making data-driven decisions accessible and bypassing common geospatial analysis obstacles.
We developed MaPP, a cloud-based platform with a central dashboard, enabling efficient real-time collaboration on conservation scenarios. This approach maximizes storage, transparency, and learning for Marxan users worldwide.
A new decade for Marxan.
- Cloud-based.
- Intuitive design.
