Pascal Peduzzi

Pascal Peduzzi is the United Nations environmental official cited in Sand heists and property rights in the Caribbean (Summer School). In the source, he is in Jamaica researching sand when locals tell him about armed overnight sand theft.

Peduzzi expands the story from one stolen beach into Sand Scarcity and Illegal Sand Mining as global problems. The episode attributes to him the report title “Sand Rarer Than One Thinks” and the claim that sand extraction has become valuable, violent, and environmentally destructive in multiple countries.
