A 23-year-old journalist from Ghana, Abdul Hakim Awal, has made history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest tree-hugging session.

This remarkable feat was confirmed by Guinness World Records on its official X (formerly Twitter) account on Tuesday.

Awal successfully embraced a tree for an astounding 24 hours and 21 minutes, breaking the previous record of 16 hours held by Ugandan environmental activist Faith Ariokot earlier this year.

To achieve this impressive accomplishment, Awal had to stand continuously and keep his arms firmly wrapped around the tree without any breaks.

His focus and dedication were unwavering throughout the entire attempt, making the record-breaking hug not just a test of physical endurance but also of mental determination.

Awal explained that his motivation for the challenge went beyond just setting a record; he aimed to raise awareness about the importance of reforestation and nature conservation in Ghana.

By hugging the tree for such an extended period, he hoped to draw attention to environmental issues, particularly deforestation, and inspire people to take action in protecting natural resources.

His achievement highlights the critical role individuals can play in promoting environmental causes, and his record-breaking hug serves as a symbolic reminder of the need to nurture and preserve the planet’s forests.

Awal’s efforts have garnered widespread attention, and his accomplishment is being celebrated as both a personal triumph and a significant contribution to environmental activism.
