Many people think natural sand dunes are barren
of life, but dunes in western United States support rich and diverse
ecosystems of distinctive plants and animals. California’s Algodones
Dune is the nation’s largest sand dune field, which attracts
70,000 to 200,000 people, riding nearly as many Off-Road Vehicles,
each one having the capacity to wipe out animals in and out of
burrows, and the plants which support dune food chains.
