The history of protecting a unique surfing wave in Brazil, [nautilus link] and also the (very slow) recovery of the area and its indigenous communities after a widespread mining disaster from a site owned by VALE.

Another way into rights of nature thinking is Jane Gleeson-White's, Six Capitals: The Revolution Capitalism Has to Have – or Can Accountants Save the Planet? (first edition is what I've read). A long review at cambridge.org which looks at how the book addresses intangibles.
