In a monumental move to restore our previous sand dunes, Goa is the location of a first-of-its-kind project in India. But what is a dune park? A sand dune park is a specific area where measures are put in place to preserve the flora and fauna of this often overlooked, delicate ecosystem. Sand dunes are often overlooked as areas that need preserving. Sand dunes, while mostly found in deserts, are also found on beaches. Sand dunes are essential as they act as a barricade between the ocean and land, protecting human habitation from tsunamis and storms. Sand dunes are formed as geological deposits from the wind. The windier it is, the more likely a sand dunes will form. Unfortunately, years of negligence have led to sand dunes around Goa becoming holding pots of garbage.
