M.A.P Scientific Services

Overview

MAPSS (M.A.P Scientific Services) is a geospatial science company based in Pretoria, South Africa, redefining how conservation is done through the science of where. We believe every conservation challenge is inherently spatial. Understanding where is the first step to understanding why and deciding how to act. We specialise in turning complex spatial and environmental data into clear, usable insight—leveraging GIS, satellite imagery, and science to support smarter land management, biodiversity protection, and climate resilience. From tracking wildlife and mapping deforestation to restoring degraded landscapes and building early warning systems, we help governments, NGOs, and funders across Africa and beyond see clearly, act confidently, and measure what matters. As an Esri Gold Partner and trusted implementation partner, we design scalable, real-time geospatial solutions that connect data to action—and action to impact.

Overview:

One of the major challenges facing environmental management today is bridging the science implementation gap. Although more data are collected now than ever before, it remains time consuming, expensive, and difficult to visualize and interpret these data. It is therefore not easy to turn raw data into practical, evidence-based management actions. Effective environmental management requires the definition of clear and realistic management goals, the development of plausible strategies to achieve those goals, monitoring to evaluate the relative merits and limitations of management strategies, and the iterative modification of management strategies to improve management outcomes . The evaluation of these management goals, strategies, limitations, and outcomes can only be as rigorous (and therefore as reliable) as the monitoring data that informs it i.e. good science lies at the heart of delivering effective outcomes. We develop custom tools that can help guide organisations to effectively collect, store, analyse, and view ecological data to ensure scientifically sound outputs that inform decision making. https://www.esri.com/en-us/arcgis-marketplace/listing/products/73dad5321435434b9a8b19a8e3fc3b1b
