The Tara Expeditions Foundation, the first foundation dedicated to the Ocean to be recognized of public interest, is developing, thanks to the schooner Tara, a unique and innovative ocean science to predict and better anticipate the impact of climate change. Tara uses high-level scientific expertise to raise awareness and educate younger generations, but also to mobilize policy makers and enable developing countries to access this new knowledge. The Tara Foundation is a Special Observer at the UN and actively participates in the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda. We want to make the ocean a shared responsibility.

MAVA was born of the passion, vision and adventure of one man, our founder, Luc Hoffmann. Our name is drawn from the initials of his four children – Maja, André, Vera, and Daria. And today, André is our President.

Created in 1994 to support the conservation of iconic places like the Camargue and Doñana, we have since grown into a professional foundation, becoming a key funder of global conservation.
