The Official New7Wonders of Nature campaign started in 2007, immediately after the campaign to elect the man-made New Seven Wonders of the World, in which more than 100 million votes were cast. From over 440 participants representing over 220 countries and through a national qualification and race to become one of the Top 77, as well as the recommendations of the Panel of Experts led by Prof. Federico Mayor, the list of 28 "Official Finalist Candidates" has been determined.
The Official Declaration of the New7Wonders of Nature will be in 11/11/2011. All the finalists are listed below as Day Zero Project tasks to add to your To Do or Someday lists.
