Wow. This was such an eye opener. I'm familiar with the sand mafia operations in India but did not realize that it was so widespread and in so many countries. Also, did not know about the land reclaimation happening in regions other than the UAE.
Thanks for sharing this and if you're okay with it, I'd like to include this in my next issue :)
That would be an honor! Thanks for your support man. Yes, I was quite familiar with sand mining being a raging mess, but like most things, the details look far worse.
The geopolitics of dirt can easily lead to the geopolitics of conflicts if the geopolitics of sand mining isn't understood in its present devastating dimensions. Thanks for sharing.
I've come across this issue before and it's staggering. Fascinating, thank you.
Glad you found it useful. Thanks for the support!

Thank you. Singapore and Malaysia are already there, and in the coming decades illegal mining is just going to increase, without a crackdown.
