NYERI, Kenya, Dec 10 \u2013 Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has applauded a Nyeri girl who has embarked on an ambitious 72-hour tree-hugging marathon to break a world record and raise awareness on environmental conservation.<\/p>\n
The teenager, whose challenge has attracted growing local and national attention, began the endurance activity earlier this week in Nyeri County, drawing support from residents, environmental activists, and government officials.<\/p>\n
Gachagua, who hails from Nyeri, praised the girl\u2019s determination and described her attempt as a powerful example of youth-driven environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are proud of her courage and commitment. This is the spirit of our young people\u2014bold, creative, and determined to make a difference,\u201d the Deputy President said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith such enthusiasm from our young people, the country is well on course to achieving our ambitious tree cover goals,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
The 72-hour challenge involves maintaining continuous physical contact with a tree, a test of both mental endurance and physical resilience.<\/p>\n
