Komodo Park, at the heart of a dispute between Indonesia and New7Wonders foundation
February 17, 2011
JAKARTA (eTN) – A banner carrying a huge komodo dragon has been deployed for a couple of months on a building’s facade in the Jakarta Central Business District. The building is, in fact, the seat of Indonesia’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism, which has, for over a year, campaigned to inscribe Komodo National Park and its famed giant lizards onto the list of the New Seven Wonders. The New7Wonders Foundation (N7W) is based in Switzerland and has launched a worldwide vote to designate the Seven New natural and cultural Wonders, in echo to the Seven Wonders of the Antique World.
