World Natural Wonder
Costa Rica’s Cocos
Island is a strong
candidate to become one
of the world’s seven
natural wonders, since
the sponsor of the
election, the Swiss
foundation New7Wonders,
has enlisted it among on
of the favorite spots
around the globe.
If chosen, Cocos
-which is a national
park - would get a boost
from donations and
research.
The island is home to a
vast array of marine and
land species which are
found nowhere else,
therefore its
outstanding condition.
Anybody can cast his or
her vote in the election
of the new natural
wonders by accessing
www.new7wonders.com,
which will be receiving
ballots through December
31, 2008.
In January 2009, a panel
of experts will
establish a list of 21
sites for the public to
vote through the balance
of that year. Finally,
in mid 2010, the seven
natural wonders chosen
will be announced. |
