Tree hugging record?
Print Edition
MORE than 2,000 people, mostly students wearing their school uniforms, gathered in Nepal’s capital on Thursday in a bid to set a world record for the largest tree hug.
Parliament members, office workers and even Buddhist monks also took part in the attempt, joining the students at a park on the outskirts of Katmandu.
The participants said they were trying to set the record to celebrate World Environment Day by spreading awareness about the importance of trees.
“Our goal is to set a new world record and at the same time spread the message that trees are important for the environment and everyone,” said Thaneswor Guragai, who coordinated the event. The previous Guinness World Record for most people hugging trees simultaneously was 936 people in Portland, Oregon, last July.
