Sustainability

Marana Group is committed to responsible environmental stewardship across its operations and investments. We recognize the importance of balancing growth with sustainability and take a pragmatic approach to reducing environmental impact while supporting long-term resilience.

We seek to:

• Integrate environmental considerations into decision-making and project execution
• Promote efficient use of resources and responsible supply-chain practices
• Support initiatives that contribute to climate resilience, decarbonization, and sustainable infrastructure where relevant

Our approach is grounded in practicality, compliance with applicable standards, and continuous improvement rather than box-ticking, ensuring environmental responsibility is embedded into how we operate.

WildTeam started out as the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh in 2003, the initiative of a small group of dedicated conservationists led by Nahar Khan, with the aim of protecting the rapidly disappearing natural assets of Bangladesh. In 2012, the organization was rebranded as WildTeam, giving it 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 was 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.

WildTeam is the implementer of USAID's Bagh Activity. Bagh achieved many remarkable feats in its efforts to save tigers and the Sundarbans. Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina also showed her support to the noble cause by visiting the Tiger Caravan during a function at Bangabandhu National Stadium marking the Independence Day.

WildTeam works closely with the Bangladesh Forest Department and the Ministry of Environment and Forest to support them in their role as custodians of the country's wildlife and wilderness.

In 2008, WildTeam merged with the Sundarbans Tiger Project (STP) which is currently known as Tiger Team Initiative, a joint initiative of the University of Minnesota and the Bangladesh Forest Department. Currently, WildTeam is leading the implementation of USAID's Bengal Tiger Conservation Activity under the guidance of the Forest Department, and with technical support from the Smithsonian Institution, USA.
