“The most trees hugged in one hour (individual) is 1,123, and was achieved by Abubakar Tahiru (Ghana), in Auburn, Alabama, USA, on 25 March 2024.
“Abubakar is an Auburn University forestry student who is deeply passionate about the environment and sustainable forestry.

In the last few months, several Ghanaians have made attempts at various Guinness World Records including longest cooking, singing, interview and speech marathons. While a firm verdict on some of the attempts remain outstanding, several of them have been rejected by Guinness World Records for failing to meet the entity’s approved guidelines, thus making Tahiru’s feat a very significant achievement for Ghana.
