Planeta Colibri Award
As part of the global celebration of World Environment Day, Planeta.com presents the seventh annual Colibri Ecotourism Award to Francisco Verįstegui, who created Mexico's first city map of notable and historic trees.

Announcing this year's winner, Planeta.com founder Ron Mader said, "Ecotourism depends on the leadership of individuals exemplified by Francisco Verįstegui who are resourceful when creating new linkages connecting tourism and environmental conservation." Colibri means "Hummingbird" in Spanish and in 2007 the Colibri Award celebrates its seventh anniversary, making this one of the longest-running ecotourism awards. The winner of the annual award receives a trophy, diploma and a $1,000 cash award from Emilio Kifuri, president of Canyon Travel.

The Colibri Ecotourism Award's co-sponsor, Destination Ventures, is contributing another $1,000 directly to Planeta.com for development of spin-off media, including an English-language version of the map and DVD.
