Komodo National Park Close to Tally Needed for ‘Wonder’ Status
Kupang, East Nusa Tenggara. Support for Indonesia’s Komodo Island National Park to be named one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature continues to mount, with more than 100 million votes sent by text message since the service went live in mid-August.
“The total number of text messages sent in support of Komodo broke the 100-million barrier on Saturday night,” said Emmy Hafild, head of Supporters for a Komodo Victory (P2Komodo).
She said that as of Monday night, with 11 days left until voting ends, the park named after the giant monitor lizards it hosts would have about 110 million of the 120 million votes it needed to ensure a place in the final seven.
