Truphena Muthoni, a Kenyan environmental conservationist, has set a new world record by completing a 72-hour non-stop tree-hugging marathon in Nyeri. This remarkable feat surpasses her previous personal best of 48 hours and aims to draw attention to urgent environmental protection needs.

• Muthoni hugged a tree for 72 consecutive hours to raise awareness about forest protection and inspire youth environmental stewardship.
• The challenge, which began on December 11, received support from environmental groups, local leaders, and hundreds of Kenyans.
• Muthoni stated, “This record is not just for me—it is for our trees, our climate, and our future.”
