Mission
Seven Natural Wonders is global grassroots endeavor committed to protecting the original seven natural wonders of the world. The mission is twofold:
- To protect and promote the discovery, exploration and enjoyment of the Original seven natural wonders of the world.
- To identify, declare and promote the discovery, exploration and enjoyment of the seven greatest natural wonders for each continent.
Rationale
Protecting the original seven natural wonders of the world is the first priority of Seven Natural Wonders. In recent history there was an effort to establish the new seven man made wonders of the world. This effort made sense because six of the original seven wonders were no longer in existence.
The original seven natural wonders are still in existence and still represent grandeur, amazement, beauty and wonder. Seven Natural Wonders believes that the original vision and declaration demands the honor and respect to maintain its living place in history.
Yes, it is fair to question how the wonders were originally selected; why Victoria Falls was chosen and not Iguazu Falls. However, originality and vision and the actual “wonder” of the wonders warrant protection.
Additionally, there is a reality that Seven Natural Wonders recognizes within these questions which is that this world is full of amazing, beautiful, and unique “natural wonders” that deserve their spotlight and recognition. Accordingly, Seven Natural Wonders is identifying and seeking to declare the seven natural wonders of each continent. The Original Seven wonders will be guaranteed their appropriate place within the newly declared wonders for each continent.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: What are the qualifications of a natural wonder?
A: The primary qualification is that the wonder is completely natural. For example, Mount Rushmore involves the splendor of a beautiful mountain peak, but it is the manipulation of that mountain creating the facial carvings that make it such a wonder. It would not qualify. Additionally, a natural wonder needs to be statistically and/or naturally unique. Statistical factors that come into play may include characteristics such as height, width, and volume - but the focus is on unique wonder, beauty and amazement.
Q: Why are the original seven natural wonders included in the seven natural wonders for each continent?
A: The original seven natural wonders deserve their distinctive places as “The Seven Natural Wonders.” Accordingly, the should automatically be included in any subsequent list that looks at the specific natural wonders of a particular continent or region. Victoria Falls has a guaranteed place in the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa - now is the time to vote for the remaining six.
