The number of natural wonders of the world can depend on the specific list or organization being referenced. However, the most commonly recognized number is seven.
While numerous lists and criteria exist for defining natural wonders, the "New7Wonders of Nature" initiative selected a list of seven through a global poll. Before that initiative, the concept of the "Seven Natural Wonders" existed, aiming to preserve the original vision of such wonders.
Therefore, while other lists exist with varying numbers, the answer that aligns with popular understanding and historical context is:
- Seven.
