Our story and how it continues....

WildTeam, formerly Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh (WTB), was established in 2003 by a small group of dedicated conservationists, with the aim of protecting the rapidly disappearing natural assets of Bangladesh. In 2012, the organisation's name was changed to WildTeam, giving a fresh new look that represents its identity and objectives in a better way. WildTeam is based in Bangladesh and governed by Bangladeshi board members. WildTeam also registered as a charity in England and Wales in 2012, to support the Bangladesh work and to create a base to help save tigers and other wildlife internationally. In 2013, WildTeam became a registered non-government organisation in Bangladesh under the NGO Affairs Bureau.

Today, WildTeam employs over 90 staff, many of which come direct from communities with whom we work to ensure we are working from within. We also work closely with the Bangladesh Forest Department and the Ministry of Environment and Forests to support them in their role as custodians of the country’s wildlife and wilderness.

Since establishment, WildTeam has been working to protect endangered species and their ecosystems in Bangladesh, including the Hoolock Gibbon of northeastern region, the elephants of north, central and the southeast, the bears of northeast, southeast, north and central regions; and the birds of northeastern haors and coastal areas. WildTeam has also been involved in identifying and learning from community-based conservation groups via our Community Conserved Areas assessment in the northeast, north, central and southeast. This is all part of our wish to access the wealth of community knowledge that already exists and which often holds the key to nature conservation success.
