## About

GIS software company known for ArcGIS mapping and spatial analysis tools

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria. In February 2026 a community advocacy group emailed Esri to request that access be restored for users in Syria, citing the 2025 lifting of sanctions and the importance of GIS tools for environmental monitoring and reconstruction. No response from the company has been recorded, and the block remains in place.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-16 — Contacted Company. An environmental advocacy group sent an outreach email to Esri at privacy@esri.com requesting restoration of access for users in Syria. The email highlighted the importance of GIS tools for environmental monitoring and reconstruction efforts, and referenced the 2025 sanctions lift.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
