I went looking for a recent long-odds climate struggle and found the protests.

I had forgotten Tim Walz was governor of Minnesota during the protests.

In response to this post

Have you heard of the Te Urewaera Act of 2014? It's a pretty cool law from the Māori that recognized a New Zealand forest as its own legal entity.

"The key principles of the new Act are:

- Te Urewera ceases to be a national park and is vested in itself as its own legal entity; and
- Te Urewera will own itself in perpetuity with the Board to speak as its voice to provide governance and management in accordance with the principles of the Act"

I want to find a real-world equivalent to the Ents breaking Isengard.

I am tempted to draw parralels to incidents of eco-sabotage, but the comparison is imperfect. The ents are a nation, for one thing. The fight in Isengard is more of a seige of an army than an incident of monkey-wrenching.
