Truphena Muthoni Embraces Tree for 72 Hours in Nyeri Protest
On December 8 outside Nyeri Governor's office in Kenya, environmental activist Truphena Muthoni began her stand to highlight deforestation, climate change, mental health, and native tree protection. She surpassed her earlier 48-hour record and Ghana's 24-hour mark, blindfolding herself after 48 hours in solidarity with people with disabilities. Supporters including MPs praised her endurance, linking it to Wangari Maathai's legacy, while medics checked her health after cheers marked the 72-hour finish. Her act has inspired Kenyans to value nature more deeply.
