Our response to the
Voices of the Wild
Scope Foundation for Species Conservation and Protection of Ecosystems (SCOPE) is dedicated to safeguarding Bangladesh’s extraordinary biodiversity. From the wetlands and rivers to the mangroves of the Sundarbans, our country is home to unique wildlife and ecosystems that support both nature and people.
We believe that conservation must be science-driven, community-based, and impact-oriented. Through research, collaboration, and grassroots engagement, we aim to protect endangered species, restore critical habitats, and inspire a culture of stewardship across generations.
Our impact
Delivering for nature
Coastal Wetland
Guardians of Bangladesh’s Coastal Wetlands
Bangladesh’s coastal wetlands are among the most biologically rich and productive ecosystems in the world. They provide critical feeding and nesting grounds for migratory birds such as the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, while also supporting fisheries that sustain local communities.
Freshwater Wetland
Life Thrives in Freshwater Wetlands
Freshwater wetlands are the beating heart of Bangladesh’s landscapes. They regulate water flow, recharge groundwater, and shelter countless species of fish, amphibians, and birds. For rural communities, wetlands are a source of food, clean water, and cultural identity.
Sundarbans
The Living Treasure of the Sundarbans
The Sundarbans, the world’s largest mangrove forest, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to the iconic Bengal Tiger, Masked Finfoot, and Irrawaddy Dolphins. Its dense mangroves protect millions of coastal people from cyclones and tidal surges.
River & Grassland
Flowing Rivers and Open Grasslands: A Haven for Wildlife
Rivers and grasslands form dynamic ecosystems that support species such as the Indian Skimmer, Ganges River Dolphin, and a variety of migratory birds. These areas also provide fertile soils, grazing land, and freshwater that rural communities depend on daily.
Movement & Connectivity
Understanding migratory birds’ movement ecology
Rivers and grasslands form dynamic ecosystems that support species such as the Indian Skimmer, Ganges River Dolphin, and a variety of migratory birds. These areas also provide fertile soils, grazing land, and freshwater that rural communities depend on daily.
Species Science & Conservation
Science at the Heart of Conservation
Effective conservation begins with science. At SCOPE, we conduct research on endangered species such as the Spoon-billed Sandpiper, Masked Finfoot, and other threatened birds and mammals. Our fieldwork provides critical data that guides local and national conservation strategies.
