Through the use of data-driven, conservation planning methods like Marxan, we can start to mitigate the current global biodiversity crisis. Marxan is an important part of the toolbox that conservation planners have to objectively select parts of the landscape that were once altered, fragment, or destroyed by human use and restore them. Ultimately, tools like Marxan can help identify the balance of land uses that support the co-existence of nature and people.
