Ghanaian man sets record for kissing and hugging 1,123 trees in 1 hour
It was an unbe-leaf-able feat.
An environmental activist took his arboreal love to the next level when he hugged 1,123 trees in just one hour.
Abubakar Tahiri, 29, tore through the Tuskegee National Forest in Alabama to set the Guinness World Record for most trees hugged in the 60-minute timeframe, the record-keeping organization announced Friday.
That means the Ghana native averaged 19 tree hugs per minute.
“It’s important to me to inspire the youth in Ghana, especially those from less privileged communities like the one I grew up in, showing them that it’s possible to rise above challenges and make a significant impact,” Tahiri said.
