- Campaigners want to grant Lough Neagh — the British Isles' largest lake, and a source of much of Northern Ireland's drinking water — the legal standing of a 'person,' drawing on a global rights-of-nature movement.
- Supporters say it could force action where regulation has failed; skeptics ask whether it would change anything at all.
