Truphena Muthoni estabelece novo recorde mundial de maior número de árvores abraçadas em uma hora

A ambientalista queniana Truphena Muthoni abraçou 1.234 árvores em uma hora no dia 8 de maio no Jardim Botânico de Brasília, quebrando provisoriamente o recorde mundial do Guinness, anteriormente fixado em 1.123.

A ativista de 22 anos, conhecida como a "Abraçadora de Árvores pela Justiça", superou sua meta de 1.172 árvores durante sua Turnê de Conscientização Ambiental. Ela declarou: "A meta era 1.172. Alcançamos 1.234". Este desempenho ocorreu na sexta-feira, 8 de maio de 2026, e permanece sujeito à ratificação oficial pelo Guinness World Records.

O Dr. Andrew Karanja, embaixador do Quênia no Brasil, esteve presente no evento junto com a vice-chefe da missão, Peris Kariuki, e o presidente do Jardim Botânico de Brasília, Allan Freire. Cidadãos quenianos e moradores locais também se reuniram para apoiar a tentativa.

Muthoni já detém o recorde da maratona mais longa de abraço em árvores após abraçar uma árvore nativa em Nyeri por 72 horas em dezembro de 2025. Seus esforços visam defender a proteção de árvores nativas e honrar os sistemas de conhecimento indígena.
