Vote TN Komodo for New7Wonder

vote komodoI wouldn't know if i didn't come to this blog today, that there are a campaign for new 7 wonder running on. Indonesia has sent 3 names with different categories, which were Krakatau Island, Lake Toba and Komodo National Park. As the campaign is entering the second phase, only Komodo National Park that still remain as a candidate now.

Last time I visit the official website for voting which was today, Komodo National Park is at 12th rank. And It's really not a good position if we want this national park go to the next phase. Only top 11 in each categories will be eligible to the next phase.


Voting for nominees will continue through July 7, 2009. The top 77 nominees by group categories (the top 11 in each of the seven groups) will be eligible for consideration by the New7Wonders of Nature Panel of Experts, under the leadership of Prof. Federico Mayor, former Director-General of UNESCO. The Panel of Experts will review these 77 nominees and choose from them the 21 Official Finalists, according to published criteria. The selection will be announced on 21 July 2009, and the 21 Official Finalists will then enter the third and final phase to vote and choose the Official New7Wonders of Nature.

So, let's vote for our nominee (oh...vote..vote...vote.. a very popular word in Indonesia now). And tell others to do so.

Komodo National Park is unique and has a plus point because this place is a habitat for a living proof of the big lizard that ever live on earth.

You can vote our nominee in here..
In this form you have to choose 7 different nominee. As a consideration there is Coral Triangle (in different category from Komodo National Park). The Coral Triangle is a geographical term referring to the waters of Indonesia, Malaysia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Solomon Islands and Timor-Leste with an abundance of coral reef.
And Wakatobi National Park (Sulawesi) lies in this triangle.

Ok, let's vote and hope that Komodo National Park is becoming the new 7 wonder of nature.
