Hi everyone!

This blog is about the "New Seven Wonders of Nature". The "New7Wonders Foundation" already made a list of the "New Seven Wonders of the World", but until 11.11.2011, a democratic vote will decide of the main natural places of interest in our world. This idea of a "World Heritage" is quite fashionable these days ; the Seven Wonders refer to the appreciation of a common past, or a common natural heritage, that each and everyone of us have to protect for the future generations.

Differences with the UNESCO World Heritage list

Nonetheless, many voices rose against this program. First of all ; UNESCO. Even if a former director of the organisation is directly involved in the adventure, UNESCO distanced itself from the campaign. The UNESCO spokesman pointed out the lack of scientific expertise in the final step of the voting process. Indeed, the UNESCO World Heritage list is not the result of a democratic vote, but is decided by a college of scientists. That's why the New Seven Wonders of Nature list has to be considered as a private, non-scientific action, which can put forward different sites, especially those which are not in the UNESCO list.
