The Grand Canyon is one of 28 natural landmarks that are in the final phase of the global poll to choose the “New 7 Wonders of Nature.” Anyone can vote by Internet or phone. The winners will be announced in 2011. Over 1 billion people are expected to participate.
The Arizona Daily Star reports that a panel of experts chose the finalists from the 77 nominees that gained the most votes in an early round of voting. People originally suggested 261 landmarks in all countries of the world.
The New 7 Wonders organization says the purpose of the campaign is to promote cultural diversity by supporting, preserving and restoring monuments and natural sites.
