Canadian environmental advocate and record holder for the most trees planted by an individual in a single day, Antoine Moses, is in Kenya for a 24-hour mangrove planting attempt targeting a new world record of 40,000 mangrove propagules at Mirarani Site in Tudor Creek, Mombasa County.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge, running from 30 April 2026 (06:30 AM) to 1 May 2026 (06:30 AM), brings together government institutions, conservation organisations, and global partners in one of East Africa\u2019s most ambitious coastal restoration efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Welcoming Moses, Victor Mwanga, Founder and CEO of EarthLungs Reforestation Foundation, said the initiative blends environmental ambition with human impact.<\/span><\/p>\n

He stated: \u201cI am proud to officially welcome Antoine Moses to Kenya for his first-ever visit, as he undertakes a historic attempt to set a new world record by planting 40,000 mangrove trees within 24 hours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mwanga said EarthLungs is providing technical leadership to ensure ecological success beyond symbolism.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said: \u201cAs the host organisation, EarthLungs is honoured to provide technical support grounded in our practical experience in mangrove ecosystem restoration.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that the focus is long-term ecological integrity, not short-term visibility.<\/span><\/p>\n

To ensure high survival rates, EarthLungs has deployed structured restoration systems including site preparation, spacing protocols, and post-planting monitoring.<\/span><\/p>\n

CAPTION: Mangrove propagules ready for planting as restoration efforts take shape along the coastline.<\/p>\n

Mwanga noted: \u201cWe are fully committed to ensuring that this initiative achieves a survival rate of more than 85%, supported through proven restoration methodologies, transparent monitoring systems, proper site preparation, correct spacing, and sustained post-planting care.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative is also anchored in Kenya\u2019s broader ecosystem restoration agenda, linking global climate action with community participation.<\/span><\/p>\n

He further said conservation must deliver social value alongside environmental outcomes: \u201cThrough this model, we continue to demonstrate that ecosystem restoration is not only an environmental responsibility but also a pathway to dignified livelihoods through our principle of Decent Wages for Decent Lives, where communities are empowered as custodians of nature.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The record attempt is being implemented with the Kenya Forest Service, the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change & Forestry, and Canadian partner Veritree, positioning Kenya as a hub for nature-based climate solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The targeted mangrove species, Rhizophora mucronata, Ceriops tagal, Avicennia marina, and Bruguiera gymnorhiza, are critical for stabilising coastlines, supporting fisheries, and storing carbon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenya\u2019s mangrove ecosystems span over 64,000 hectares, but face growing pressure from pollution, overharvesting, and climate change, making restoration increasingly urgent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The initiative supports the Government\u2019s 15 Billion Trees Programme, aimed at expanding forest cover, creating green jobs, and strengthening climate resilience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mwanga concluded: \u201cKenya is showing the world that restoration can be both scientific and deeply human.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
