Mr Julien SEMELIN

Head of Learning and Evaluation, MAVA Foundation

I started my career in the field, taking the responsibility for managing a nature reserve in French Guiana. Thanks to this experience, I joined the philanthropic sector in 2009 to oversee projects aimed at preserving biodiversity in West Africa and in the Mediterranean basin. I am a coach on Conservation Standards and coordinate MAVA Foundation's Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning stream of work. 

Beyond my extensive experience of funding and implementing nature conservation activities, I remain deeply rooted in the field, always determined to identify the most innovative solutions to preserve our environment and inspire the nature conservation community.
