Amazon River inaugurated as nature's wonder today
The Amazon River & Rainforest was officially declared as one of the new seven wonders of nature in a festive ceremony broadcasted live on giant screens around the Amazon region of Loreto in northeastern Peru.
The official delegation, including Bernard Weber, president of the New 7 Wonders foundation, headed to the 28 de Julio square to unveil the bronze plaque commemorating the official certification of the Amazon River/Rainforest as a natural wonder of the world.
Promperu noted that the award represents the recognition of the biodiverse richness that houses the Amazonia, making it one of the "lungs of the planet."

Jean Paul de la Fuente, New 7 Wonders director said ''there will be great tourism and economic impact in the Amazon'' (hopefully aligned to sustainable tourism activities).
I think this recognition must be shared with Brazil and all the countries within the Amazon rivers basin.
