From 2004 to 2008, the project was administered by the Forest Department and used wildlife consultants from the University of Minnesota to advise on research strategies and train staff. From 2008 to 2012 the project was coordinated by the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh, with advisory support from the Zoological Society of London. From 2013 the project has changed its name to "TigerTeam" under the coordination of the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh, which in 2013 changed its name to "WildTeam".
