Sand mining: the global environmental crisis you’ve probably never heard of Cities From Cambodia to California, industrial-scale sand mining is causing wildlife to die, local trade to wither and The physical and environmental impacts of sand mining occur due to excavation that is taking place in the study area. Similarly, Ikhsan et al. ( 2009 ) and Lawal ( 2011 ) in their studies
