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.
