Here are some of the things that Suneel Mistry worked on in 2025

This year, as part of the Caribbean Organizations for a Resilient Environment and Global Affairs Canada I have been able to work with the Protected Areas Trust (Guyana). Through partnerships with the Caribbean Biodiversity Fund and Network of Environmental Funds of Latin America and the Caribbean (RedLAC) there was also collaboration projects around South America and the Caribbean.

By blending corporate marketing discipline with a passion for conservation, this project has not only increased PAT’s visibility but has also built a sustainable foundation for future storytelling and fundraising in Guyana.

For me, it has given me a space to grow, challenge myself, but also foster and give birth to the next version of Suneel, the Marketing Leader. I truly thank everyone I have met, worked with or gotten to connect with over the last 12 months for being a part of this journey.
