Her passion for environmental activism dates back to her secondary school years, where she had attended St Stanislaus’s College.
She was given the opportunity to travel all across Guyana learning of its diverse ecosystem.
This gave her a better understanding and appreciation for the flora and fauna and the importance of their respective ecosystems, which eventually motivated her to be a voice for the voiceless.
Her main focus is Environmental Education and in 2021, Suphane started her own radio program called ‘Ecospace’ which is airs on 95.5fm.
The program seeks to talk about everything environment and to educate its listeners.
Her continuous activism saw her being recognized, and was awarded a grant by UNICEF through the Climate Change Maker initiative to create a social media campaign focused on educating Guyanese about everything environmentally related and focusing on current issues such as climate change.
This campaign was dubbed ‘Ecospacegy’ and can be followed on all social media platforms.
Suphane pledges to continue her activism throughout her life with focus on educating the masses, as she believes that any movement can be successful if persons understand how issues affect them directly.
She believes that as we enter the environmental revolution Guyanese should not be left in the dark, and Suphane Dash-Alleyne is determined to ensure that we are all equipped with the knowledge of environmental importance.
