Guinness World Record- Ghanaian’s Record-Breaking Tree Hugathon Garners Global Attention, Embracing Over 1,100 Trees in an Hour!
Abubaker Tahiru, a 29-year-old forestry student and environmental activist hailing from Ghana, recently etched his name into the annals of history by setting a remarkable Guinness World Record. With boundless enthusiasm and a deep-rooted passion for conservation, Tahiru embarked on an awe-inspiring mission: to hug the most trees in a single hour.
Venturing into the verdant expanse of Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama, USA, Tahiru commenced his record-breaking endeavor. With each embrace, he demonstrated not only his physical prowess but also his unwavering dedication to the cause. In the span of just sixty minutes, Tahiru managed to envelop an astounding 1,123 trees in heartfelt embraces, averaging an astonishing one hug every three seconds.
What makes Tahiru’s achievement all the more remarkable is the backdrop against which it unfolded. Fasting for Ramadan, he persevered through physical exertion without the solace of water. Yet, this seemingly insurmountable challenge only fueled his determination, eliminating the need for pauses and allowing him to maintain an uninterrupted rhythm throughout the attempt.
The viral video shared by Guinness World Records encapsulates Tahiru’s feat, showcasing his nimble movements as he swiftly moves from tree to tree. The caption accompanying the post reverberates with the magnitude of his accomplishment, proudly proclaiming him as the record holder for the “Most trees hugged in one hour (individual).”

Since captivating audiences worldwide on Instagram, Tahiru’s achievement has garnered widespread acclaim, amassing millions of views and tens of thousands of likes. Admirers from all corners of the globe have hailed him for his extraordinary dedication and the profound message he sends about the importance of environmental stewardship.
For Tahiru, this record-breaking triumph represents more than just a personal milestone; it serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role trees play in sustaining our planet’s delicate ecosystem. Coming from a farming community in Ghana, his journey toward conservation advocacy was born out of a deep-seated reverence for nature instilled in him from a young age.
Having graduated in forestry, Tahiru’s pursuit of knowledge and passion for conservation led him to Auburn University in Alabama, where he is currently pursuing a master’s degree. His relentless commitment to preserving our natural heritage serves as an inspiration to all, underscoring the urgency of environmental conservation in an increasingly fragile world.
As Abubaker Tahiru basks in the glow of his record-breaking achievement, he remains steadfast in his mission to safeguard the world’s forests for future generations.
