Historical Context

DIMFE was formally launched on September 7, 2021, during the IUCN World Conservation Congress in Marseille. The agreement was signed by three foundations: MAVA Foundation (Swiss family foundation), Aage V. Jensen Charity Foundation, and Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation. The first project call was issued in late September 2021. Notably, MAVA Foundation — the lead initiator — announced a planned closure at the end of 2022, which may affect the initiative's continuity.
