MAVA was born from the passion, vision and adventure of one man, our founder, Luc Hoffmann. The name MAVA comes from the initials of his four children: Maja, Andre, Vera and Daria. Today, André is our President.
Created in 1994 to support the conservation of emblematic sites such as the Camargue and Doñana, MAVA has gradually become a professional foundation and a major donor for conservation worldwide.
