66 million Trees planted in 12 hours, Well Done India

1.5 Million Volunteers Plant 66 Million Trees in 12 Hours, Breaking Guinness World Record



The central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh set a new Guinness World Record on Sunday after 1.5 million volunteers planted more than 66 million tree saplings in just 12 hours along the Narmada river.

Last year volunteers in Uttar Pradesh state set a world record by planting more than 50 million trees in one day.

Shivraj Singh Chouhan, the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, boasted the achievement: "I am extremely proud to happily share that people of Madhya Pradesh successfully planted 6.63 Crore saplings today." One crore is 10 million.

India committed under the Paris Agreement to increasing its forests by five million hectares before 2030 to combat climate change.


Observers from Guinness World Records also monitored Sunday’s(2nd July 2017) plantation and are expected to confirm in the coming weeks that the effort set a new high.

The campaign was organized by the Madhya Pradesh government, with 24 distracts of the Narmada river basin chosen as planting sites to increase the saplings’ chances of survival. Volunteers planted more than 20 different species of trees.

Wangari Maathai

# Wangari Maathai was the first African woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize(2004).

# She was also the first female scholar from East and Central Africa to take a doctorate (in biology)

# First female professor ever in her home country of Kenya. 

Maathai played an active part in the struggle for democracy in Kenya, and belonged to the opposition to Daniel arap Moi's regime.

In 1977 she started a grass-roots movement aimed at countering the deforestation that was threatening the means of subsistence of the agricultural population. The campaign encouraged women to plant trees in their local environments and to think ecologically. 

The so-called Green Belt Movement spread to other African countries, and contributed to the planting of over thirty million trees.

Maathai's mobilisation of African women was not limited in its vision to work for sustainable development; she saw tree-planting in a broader perspective which included democracy, women's rights, and international solidarity.

In the words of the Nobel Committee: "She thinks globally and acts locally."
