Dune Ecosystem

The Dune ecosystem is a complex, delicate environment found in sandy desert areas where plants, animals, and microorganisms work together to sustain life. Vegetation like resilient grasses stabilizes the dunes, preventing erosion, while specialized animals adapt to extreme conditions. These ecosystems are vital for maintaining local biodiversity, filtering water, and protecting inland areas from desertification. Despite their beauty and ecological importance, dune ecosystems are fragile and face threats from human activities, such as development and off-road recreation, requiring careful management to preserve their natural balance.
