Truphena Muthoni stellt neuen Weltrekord für die meisten in einer Stunde umarmten Bäume auf

Die kenianische Umweltschützerin Truphena Muthoni hat am 8. Mai im Jardim Botânico Brasília 1.234 Bäume in einer Stunde umarmt und damit vorläufig den bisherigen Guinness-Weltrekord von 1.123 gebrochen.

Die 22-jährige Aktivistin, bekannt als "Tree Hugger for Justice", übertraf während ihrer Environmental Awareness Tour ihr Ziel von 1.172 Bäumen. Sie erklärte: "Das Ziel waren 1.172. Wir haben 1.234 erreicht." Diese Leistung wurde am Freitag, den 8. Mai 2026, erbracht und unterliegt noch der offiziellen Ratifizierung durch Guinness World Records.

Dr. Andrew Karanja, der kenianische Botschafter in Brasilien, nahm gemeinsam mit der stellvertretenden Missionschefin Peris Kariuki und dem Präsidenten des Jardim Botânico Brasília, Allan Freire, an der Veranstaltung teil. Kenianische Staatsangehörige und Anwohner versammelten sich ebenfalls, um den Rekordversuch zu unterstützen.

Muthoni hält bereits den Rekord für den längsten Baumumarmungs-Marathon, nachdem sie im Dezember 2025 in Nyeri einen einheimischen Baum 72 Stunden lang umarmt hatte. Ihre Bemühungen zielen darauf ab, sich für den Schutz einheimischer Bäume einzusetzen und das Wissen indigener Völker zu würdigen.
