About this person
Truphena Mūthoni is a Kenyan environmental conservationist, climate, sustainability and mental health advocate. She is a Guinness World Record holder for the longest marathon hugging a tree. She first set the record at 48 hours in Michuki Memorial Park, Nairobi, between January 31 and February 2, 2025. On January 26, 2026, Guinness World Records officially ratified her new record of 72 hours, achieved in Nyeri County between December 8 and 11, 2025, where she surpassed her own previous benchmark to advocate for indigenous tree protection. The record-breaking moment was witnessed by Kenya’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Environment Programme, Ababu Namwamba, among supporters, friends and relatives. On 12 December 2025, Mūthoni challenged her previous record by the 72hour tree hugging marathon in Nyeri at the governor's office compound, enduring hunger, fatigue, and very harsh weather. Mūthoni is a defender of forests, indigenous trees, people and animals. The tree hugging is a form of peaceful protest to urge leaders to respond to pertinent environmental issues
