Current Status
As of 2011, no new Colibri as we give a major rethink to the whole award. However, we encourage all winners and supporters to continue the good work and to be supportive of one another!

Reasons for holding off on the award this year There is no financial backing for the award. There has been no official recognition of the award for a few years. The award has not generated significant synergy and collaboration among winners It's time to take a break.

Background
As part of the global celebration of [|World Environment Day] (June 5), Planeta.com presents the annual [|Colibri Ecotourism Award] (2001-2010) to a leading catalyst working toward ecotourism and responsible travel in [|Mexico!]
