World Environment Day
World Environment Day is celebrated each June 5th and Planeta.com is pleased to do its part. Today we announce the first winner of Planeta.com's very own Colibri Ecotourism Award -- Juan Carlos Ibarra and Antonio Suárez.
Meanwhile, what better way to gage the development of global ecotourism than by asking our readers to reflect on their experiences in our Regional Environmental Travel/Ecotourism Forums?
Alejandra Herranz, ENS - "The first steps towards the creation of Argentina's first national coastal park were accomplished Monday in celebration of World Environment Day... Fundacion Vida Silvestre Argentina (FVSA), has acquired a 60,000 hectare farm "Monte Leon," which takes in 30 kilometers (18.6 miles) of coast in Argentine Patagonia." - Planeta Argentina
Ron Mader, Planeta.com - To celebrate World Environment Day, Planeta.com proudly presents its first annual award for excellence in ecotourism -- the Colibri Ecotourism Award -- to two Mexican nationals who stand at the vanguard of responsible tourism. The recipients of the first annual award are Juan Carlos Ibarra and Antonio Suárez. The friends have worked for the past decade in promoting responsible tourism in rural Mexico. Ibarra and Suárez first developed bicycle tours and more recently have conducted community tourism workshops under the umbrella of Consultoria Balam. This work, performed at the grassroots level, aims to protect the environment and empower local communities. - Planeta Mexico
