About the Planeta Verde Team

Planeta Verde Reforestación S.A. is a Panamanian company with offices in Bogotá, Colombia and San José, Costa Rica. The company is engaged in reforestation and afforestation efforts in Latin America. Planeta Verde has a wholly owned subsidiary in Colombia called Plantación Amazonia El Vita S.A., with offices in Medellín and Puerto Carreño, Colombia. This international company was founded by a Canadian family from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, being Dexter, Kochurani and Dilmun Dombro. The Planeta Verde management team includes a group of highly qualified professionals:

Dexter B. Dombro, B.A., LL.B., CEO and Founder. Dexter practised law in Alberta, but had an epiphany one day and decided to do something useful with his life. He has found his niche planting tropical trees for carbon sequestration and expanded wildlife habitat in the Orinoco River basin of Vichada, Colombia. Dexter and family live in Bogotá, Colombia.

Kochurani Dombro, B.Sc., DDS, Marketing Director. Kochurani is a practising dentist in Canada and a part-time medical acupuncturist with a passion for saving rainforest. She grew up in the rainforests of southwest India, which have now mostly disappeared due to intense urbanization and deforestation.

Luis F. Yglesias, M.B.A., CFO and Latin American Director. Luis is a well-known Costa Rican business manager with many years of association with the Dombro's afforestation and reforestation efforts. He is acutely aware of the environmental problems Central American countries have faced and works towards a greener planet.

Dilmun D. Dombro, B.Sc., COO and Operations Director. Dilmun has been hooked on environmental issues since he was very young, diving with hammerhead sharks and marine turtles in the Galapagos Islands. Besides everyday operations, Dilmun is also part of the next generation to give Planeta Verde management continuity.

Juan F. Restrepo, M.Sc., Colombia General Manager. Juan has been the foundation rock that helped us establish our afforestation, reforestation and carbon sequestration efforts in the Colombian Orinoquia. Operating out of Medellín, Colombia, he is commited to helping us preserve Colombia's incredible bio-diversity.

Oscar Forero Azabache, Zoo.Tech., Plantation Manager. Oscar is our dedicated plantation manager, who makes sure that everything runs smoothly throughout the year. Oscar is very proud of the nature to be found in the Orinoco River basin, and is very excited about our efforts to plant native tree species, many of which are endangered.

Luisa Fernanda Azabache Medina, Ing.Forestal., Forestry Engineer. Luisa is the person who makes sure that everything involving seed purchases, tree nursery, soil preparation, tree planting, pruning and forest supervision runs like clock work. She has been instrumental in developing methodologies for germinating and planting native tree species.
