Auntie Rana’s Childhood: We donate 5% of all sales to animals because it’s deeply personal to us—born from Auntie Rana’s profound sadness after witnessing how unchecked development and population mismanagement devastated the wildlife she once knew in Bangladesh.
Protecting the Disappearing: From Asian elephants and Bengal tigers to Irrawaddy dolphins, the animals that once filled her childhood with wonder are now disappearing, driving her passion to protect them.

Purposeful Giving: At Auntie Rana's, we wanted giving back to be an authentic part of our mission. It's not about blindly donating for a tax break—it’s about supporting causes that align with our values and heritage.

A Legacy of Wildlife Protection: Our grandparents played a pivotal role in founding the Dhaka Zoo, providing a haven for endangered species such as the Bengal Tiger and Asian Elephant. However, seeing the zoo deteriorate into an unsafe place for animals has deeply impacted Auntie Rana, fueling a desire to do more for wildlife.

5% for Animals: When you purchase Auntie Rana’s products, 5% of proceeds go directly toward helping animals in need. Your support funds impactful sanctuary partnerships, rehabilitation efforts, and long-term conservation projects—with transparent, reportable results.

Transparency: We’ll track every dollar, provide progress reports, and keep our conservation efforts fully open and accountable.

Sanctuary Partnerships: Initially funding reputable and established sanctuaries such as the Sundarbans Tiger Project in Bangladesh and the Wolf Conservation Center in North America to ensure immediate, high-impact care for endangered and rescued species.

Rehabilitation Focus: Prioritizing sanctuaries with proven track records in rehabilitating animals such as orcas. For example, the Vancouver Aquarium

Start-to-Finish Projects: Once established, transitioning to fully funded, independent projects, from animal rescue and habitat restoration to new sanctuary creation, inspired by examples such as the Ventana Wildlife Society for condors.

A Love for California’s Wildlife: Growing up in California has shaped our deep connection to wildlife, inspiring Auntie Rana’s commitment to protecting animals and their habitats, especially those native to the Golden State.

Grizzly Bear: Rescued grizzlies find sanctuary at places like Montana Grizzly Encounter, where they live in large, naturalistic enclosures and are protected from human conflict and habitat loss.

Gray Wolf: Sanctuaries like the Wolf Conservation Center in New York offer gray wolves expansive habitats and care, focusing on education and conservation of this keystone species.

Mountain Lion: Rescued mountain lions are protected at sanctuaries like Big Cat Rescue in Florida, which provides them with spacious enclosures and enrichment after being saved from captivity or habitat encroachment.

California Condor: Sanctuaries like the Ventana Wildlife Society in California lead efforts to rehabilitate and release California condors, providing them safe environments to recover and thrive.

A Legacy of Care in Bangladesh: Our connection to wildlife and animal care runs deep, rooted in the traditions of our ethnic homeland, Bangladesh. Since our grandparents' time, our family has been dedicated to providing shelters and protection for animals, fostering a culture of compassion and coexistence.

Bengal Tigers: Bengal tigers in the Sundarbans face critical threats from poaching and habitat loss. WildTeam works to monitor tiger populations, mitigate human-wildlife conflict, and preserve their mangrove habitat.

Saltwater Crocodiles: The Sundarbans Wildlife Sanctuary protects saltwater crocodiles by preserving nesting areas and combating habitat loss. We will work with the Wildlife Conservation Society to help enforce conservation laws.

Irrawaddy & Ganges River Dolphins: The Wildlife Conservation Society in Bangladesh supports dolphin conservation by promoting sustainable fishing practices, conducting scientific research, working with the government to enforce wildlife protection laws

Asian Elephants: The Creative Conservation Alliance focuses on reducing habitat fragmentation and fostering coexistence between local communities and elephants through education and sustainable land-use planning.

A Deep Connection to Canada’s Wildlife: Growing up in Canada fostered our love for its majestic landscapes and incredible wildlife. From the forests to the coasts, the animals of Canada became part of our story, inspiring a lifelong commitment to their protection.

Orcas (Killer Whales): Protected through the Whale Museum’s Adopt an Orca Program, which tracks endangered pods and raises awareness about threats like pollution and declining prey availability.

Harbor Seals: Rehabilitated at centers like the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Mammal Rescue Centre, which cares for stranded or injured seals before releasing them back into coastal waters.

Caribou: Conserved through projects like the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society’s Caribou Recovery Program, which focuses on habitat protection and population restoration.

Loons: Supported in facilities like Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre in Manitoba, which rehabilitates injured loons and promotes awareness about wetland conservation.
