Tree Planting GUINNESS WORLD RECORD

Jimi planted 30,279 mangrove trees in 24 hours, verified by 2 independent witnesses, including 1 tree planting specialist, rotating shifts every 4 hours. This is more than any human in recorded history & will soon be verified by Guinness World Records. The species was Ciriops & this took place at Chete Cha Kale in Shimoni, Kenya.



Since Treegens has committed to replant any that do not survive, the forcasted carbon impact of this initiative is 9326 tonnes of carbon.


The biodiversity impacts are also substantial as many animals thrive around the mangrove trees.


Every tree that was planted was recorded on video & timestamped. This footage should finish uploading by April 26th in this Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1AgYpuQ9QaQKaMWt7i1_rEuDkRVEWmbhe

Planted 50,000 propagules in Shimoni, Kenya

Carbon sequestration = 50K X Survival Rate X approx .308 tonnes of carbon Biodiversity supported includes fish, crabs, bees & various birds Green Jobs as we wired 8 people for this activity

Planted 10,000 mangrove seedlings in Shimoni.

We hired 7 people to collect propagules, germinate them in a nursery & then plant the mangrove propagules. Each that survives is estimated to sequester .308 tonnes of carbon & support wildlife around the mangroves.
