29-year-old Abubakar Tahiru, a forestry student from Ghana, has recently set a new Guinness World Record for hugging the most trees in one hour. With an impressive total of 1,123 trees embraced, Mr Tahiru’s record-breaking feat took place at the Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama, USA and was captured on video by Guinness World Records.

To achieve this remarkable accomplishment, Mr Tahiru had to maintain a rapid pace, averaging nearly 19 hugs per minute. Each hug had to be a full embrace, with both arms wrapped around the tree without repeating hugs or causing harm to the trees. Despite fasting for Ramadan and not being able to drink water during the attempt, Mr Tahiru powered through the challenge without breaks, displaying both physical and mental endurance.

Breaking this record means so much to Mr Tahiru as he is passionate about trees and their importance in our ecosystem. He highlights the need for environmental conservation and hopes that his actions inspire others to take care of nature. Social media users have praised his dedication and resilience in achieving this feat. This extraordinary display of love for nature and commitment to setting a new record is sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
