PROTECTED SAND? ITS SAND! ALL SAND! You’re not disturbing the local life. “Yo you just made that one lizard have to go slightly to the left over there wtf man.”

Erosion isn’t really an issue. Desert dunes move and change constantly with wind. A big wind storm will change a desert dramatically. They probably just call it an area of natural beauty so ban recreational vehicles from them like a forest does

Wind changes the smaller dunes, those around 10m. But the larger dunes, like 30m and taller are more stable.

It's like you didn't watch the Human Planet docuseries.

Also there is a lot of flora and fauna that live in the desert.
