They haven’t damaged anything. They just bait the news into writing publicity for the cause and it works because people believing “they damage an artifact” generates clicks.

Destruction of art or historical sites will NOT save the world. It'll piss people off and push them to vote for right wing politicians that will dismantle even more environmental protections
