Sand smuggling is a cross-border environmental crime which describes the illegal transportation of often illegally extracted natural sand and gravel. While sand smuggling and illegal mining are global concerns, they are especially acute in Asia, where continuing urbanization and the region’s large construction boom are driving the increasing demand for sand. The negative consequences of excessive sand mining and smuggling, which are strongly connected, reach from environmental degradation to geopolitical tension.

  • Sand smuggling is a cross-border environmental crime which describes the illegal transportation of often illegally extracted natural sand and gravel. While sand smuggling and illegal mining are global concerns, they are especially acute in Asia, where continuing urbanization and the region’s large construction boom are driving the increasing demand for sand. The negative consequences of excessive sand mining and smuggling, which are strongly connected, reach from environmental degradation to geopolitical tension. Illegal sand smuggling and extraction, despite the enormous importance of the resource, remain under-researched, and for the most part hidden threats because they are often happening in isolated places. The issue is rarely addressed in scientific research and policy forums and instead it is the media and non-governmental organizations that are at the forefront of exposing environmental crimes and actions of corruption in the sand industry.
