Will Komodo National Park Lose ?


vote for komodoWhen I visit the official website of New 7 Wonder Campaign about three days ago, I was upset because Komodo National Park was at 15th rank, last time I visit the website for voting, the rank was at 12th (the rank decreased !!). 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.
