Ghanaian Journalist Sets New Guinness World Record for Longest Tree Hug
Abdul Hakim Awal, a Ghanaian journalist, has broken the Guinness World Record (GWR) for the longest time spent hugging a tree.
GWR announced the achievement on its official X account on Tuesday, sharing a photo of Awal with the caption: “A 23-year-old journalist, Abdul Hakim Awal, hugged a tree for 24 hours and 21 minutes.”
Awal secured the record by standing and keeping his arms wrapped around the tree continuously for the entire duration, without any breaks.
Reflecting on his accomplishment, Awal stated that his aim was to “promote reforestation and nature conservation in Ghana.”
He shattered the previous record of 16 hours, set earlier this year by Ugandan environmental activist Faith Ariokot.
