The New 7 Wonders of Nature is a campaign organized by the non-profit New7Wonders Foundation that will run until December 31, 2008. According to founder and president Bernard Weber, "So many breathtakingly beautiful, natural places are still quite unknown to many. From waterfalls to fjords, rainforests to mountain peaks, freshwater lakes to salt flats, we are discovering together the incredible beauty and variety of our planet."
The Philippines is proud to have as nominees our very own Tubbataha Reefs Natural Marine Park, Mayon Volcano and Chocolate Hills. The Tubbataha Reefs Natural Marine Park is made up of two atolls located in the middle of the Sulu Sea. Lying on the Cagayan Ridge, it is a reef ecosystem that serves as a sanctuary for marine life. The Mayon Volcano is the country's most active volcano which located in the province of Albay. Rising 2,462m above the Gulf of Albay, it has an almost perfectly-shaped cone and is considered to be the world's most perfectly formed volcano. Located in Bohol, the Chocolate Hills consists of 1,268 cone-shaped hills of roughly the same size. Spread over an area of over 50 square kilometers, it has been declared the country's 3rd National Geological Monument.
