Sand is the most used raw material in the world after air and water. Whether in the waters, the deserts or the rivers, it seems like we will never run out of it. And yet we are missing some everywhere – to make concrete, cities, cutting-edge technologies, polders, artificial islands, etc.

Go over the situation in Cape Verde, Singapore, Vietnam, India and Brittany with Mapping the World and discover the economical, ecological, geopolitical and even criminal stakes. This problematic does not only threaten our beaches, but our entire coastlines.
