has conferred on mankind
The Amazon rainforest is one of the greatest beauties that nature has conferred on mankind.
Just another option. I quite like "bestowed on" (it is "on" not "to") as well. Although they are all a little anthropocentric in my view.
In some ways it would be nice to use "entrust with" because that suggests a sense of responsibility on the part of mankind, but in this sentence it would leave the "with" hanging inelegantly at the end.

with which nature has blessed us (avoid gender-biased language)
or ". . . which nature has blessed us with."
However, many people still believe (erroneously) that it is incorrect to end a sentence with a preposition, so it would be better to avoid that.
