Suzanne Robeson-Saks
Hello World!
My name is Suzanne, and I am the proud co-founder and Chairperson of CarbonDivest.Org. I dedicate my days to empowering indigenous communities to conserve their forests and biodiversity through initiatives such as carbon credits and economic development programs. Rooted deeply in the commitment to safeguard our planet's incredible biodiversity, I channel my passion and drive into nurturing a more aware and conscious society and believe that together we can mitigate climate change.
I am a member of the Samish Nation, a federally recognized Indigenous Nation in Washington State, U.S.A. I have a strong sense of preserving the heritage and cultural significance of the Indigenous communities worldwide and the quest to conserve the biodiversity of Tropical Rainforests and mangroves.
Having been raised in Latin America (Costa Rica and Nicaragua), I fostered an immediate appreciation and stewardship for the Rainforest and biodiversity loss caused by deforestation. I am directly involved with several Indigenous communities in South and Central America and am passionate about helping conserve the biodiversity of these high-risk deforestation areas.

A future where the guardianship of our forests is not just a responsibility but a privilege, a collective endeavor that unites us all in the pursuit of a healthier, greener world.
Passion meets Action
My journey hasn’t just been about fostering awareness but empowering action through education. By highlighting the potential of carbon credits and economic development, I hope to pave a path of sustainable development that honors the wisdom and traditions of indigenous communities while heralding a new era of environmental consciousness.

David Heller
Hello Everyone,
I'm David, a devoted environmental advocate with a foundation in Software Engineering and Biochemistry. Over the past 9 years, I have been steering efforts to secure a healthier future for our planet, working relentlessly in environmental conservation and climate change mitigation.
My Journey with CarbonDivest.Org
My journey has been a remarkable expedition of learning and collaboration over the past 14 years. I have had the privilege of working closely with environmental partners and governments across Latin America, striving to secure Carbon Credit commitments under the REDD+ framework — an international initiative dedicated to reducing emissions from deforestation and fostering sustainable forest management.
Inspired by the Kyoto and Montreal environmental protocols, I deeply understood the nuanced world of Carbon Credits through the REDD+ program, appreciating its potential to conserve existing forest carbon stocks and enhance forest carbon reserves.
Roots of Passion
My roots lie in the breathtaking landscapes of Costa Rica, a place that nurtured my reverence for nature conservation and biodiversity. Growing up amid such diverse ecosystems, I understood early on the catastrophic implications of habitat loss on our flora and fauna. This grounding respect for nature was further fostered in the suburban Canadian community I was raised in, surrounded by wildlife enthusiasts, veterinarians, and environmentalists, all echoing the essential mantra of preserving our ecosystems.
CarbonDivest.org: Bridging Communities and Conservation
Understanding the pivotal role of indigenous communities in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change, As one of the co-founders, we joined hands with a visionary Board of Directors to create CarbonDivest.org. Our mission is simple yet profound – to create a platform where businesses and individuals can support indigenous communities in offsetting their carbon footprint, enabling them to serve as the vigilant guardians of our planet's forests.
Educational Backbone
