The purpose of the workshop was to develop a good practices guide for Marxan and its “cousins” such as Marxan with Zones. It has been a two-phase project, with an initial “external review” version and a just-updated second version, available both as a PDF here and in interactive wiki format here.

We cover all the relevant parameters and necessary data inputs, as well as the steps required to successfully execute the program and interpret the results.

The backbone of Marxan is to facilitate the efficient selection of subsets from a large set of mapped, spatially constant features. While Marxan was originally designed to ensure species and ecosystem representation in biodiversity conservation planning, and has primarily been applied to that field, it has proven applicable to a broad range of planning challenges.
