Kenyan Woman Hugs Tree for 72 Hours, Breaks Own Record

Truphena Muthoni's 72-hour tree-hugging challenge highlights climate change and deforestation, supported by Odibets with KSh 1 million for environmental campaigns.

  • On Thursday, 11 December 2025, Truphena Muthoni completed a non-stop 72-hour tree hug at an indigenous tree in the government compound in Nyeri, Kenya, setting a new endurance record.
  • Muthoni had earlier set a 48-hour mark and said the marathon aimed to raise awareness of climate change and deforestation.
  • Nearly falling asleep during the stunt, Muthoni was roused by supporters who had pitched in to pay fees for Guinness World Records official observers, and she explained her symbolic clothing colours to local media.
  • Odibets offered a KSh 1 million boost to support mass tree-planting drives, community environmental education and campaigns, Odibets said.
  • Awaiting formal ratification by Guinness World Records, the 72-hour feat highlights Kenya's role in global climate action as scientists note African nations face severe climate impacts despite low emissions.
