Sand Rush
"Sand Rush" is a term that refers to the rapid increase in demand for sand, particularly for construction and infrastructure projects. This phenomenon has emerged due to urbanization and population growth, leading to a significant rise in the need for concrete, asphalt, and other materials that require sand as a key ingredient.
The environmental impact of sand extraction is considerable, as it can lead to habitat destruction, erosion, and changes in local ecosystems. Many countries are now facing challenges related to illegal sand mining, which exacerbates these issues and raises concerns about sustainability and resource management in the context of environmental conservation and urban development.
