The provisional winners of the New Seven Wonders of Nature have been announced. They are as follows (in alphabetical order):

1. Amazon Rainforest – Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Peru, Suriname, Venezuela
2. Halong Bay – Vietnam
3. Iguazu Falls – Argentina, Brazil
4. Jeju Island – South Korea
5. Komodo National Park – Indonesia
6. Puerto Princesa Underground River – Philippines
7. Table Mountain – South Africa

The above list is the result of the initial count of votes after the end of the voting period on November 11, 2011.

Listed in alphabetical order, not in any position or ranking, it is possible that there will be changes between the above provisional winners and the eventual finally confirmed winners.

The voting calculation is now being checked, validated and independently verified, and the confirmed winners will be announced starting early 2012 during the Official Inauguration ceremonies.

Organized by Switzerland-based New7Wonders Foundation, the search for the New 7 Wonders of Nature started in 2009, where 77 entries were initially picked from 440 entries from more than 220 countries. Twenty-eight finalists were eventually chosen and vied for the top seven spots.
