Truphena Muthoni, a 21-year-old environmental conservationist, has made history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the longest tree hug. She achieved this remarkable feat at Michuki Park in Nairobi on Saturday, February 1, 2025.

Her accomplishment has been widely celebrated, including by Ababu Namwamba, the Permanent Representative to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the United Nations Office at Nairobi (UNON). He commended Muthoni for her resilience, not only in breaking the record but also in her dedication to environmental conservation.

In a statement on his X page, Namwamba expressed his iration for Muthoni’s achievement, emphasizing its global significance. He highlighted how her record-breaking effort showcases the power of young people in championing climate action, sustainability, and the use of nature for mental health and wellness.

Namwamba, who previously served as Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Sports, further stated that Muthoni’s success would inspire more youth, particularly from Generation Z, to engage in environmental conservation. He encouraged young Kenyans to follow her example by advocating for climate change awareness, tree planting, and mental health initiatives.

Muthoni’s historic achievement has drawn comparisons to the late Wangari Maathai, Kenya’s renowned environmental activist. Her actions serve as a powerful reminder of the role individuals can play in making the planet healthier and more sustainable for future generations.

28 Hours is not rice and reans, something not seen is definitely involved, thought many self-deceiful Souls here that can not even Pray for just 1 Hour minimum as JESUS AHAYAHsha Commanded us to would say she's not Spiritual.
This is Big Sin and Iniquity for those that understand what lives in that tree. I've been physically followed by a Demonic Spirit from inside a Tree where I wanted to pee around 11:30PM. I changed my mind and didn't pee there but stepped back onto the Road because I noticed Very Dark eerie darker than darkness under the tree. Immediately I started going home, a Being followed me. It exudes the Strongest Strangest Magnetic Fragrance I've ever smelled, later sounding feminine just saying "Please, please...". Stubbornly follwed me for long wanting a Conversation. It refused to turn back till I rebuked her with Strong Warning that I don't want anything to do with any other Spirit. I said "I belong to The Supreme SPIRIT AHAYAH ASHAR AHAYAH that Created Heaven and Earth alone!" I rebuked it to get lost from me in the Supremely Powerful Name of JESUS AHAYAHsha! It was only then it disappeared and vanished with her Strong Seductive Smell.
