A historic mangrove planting marathon at Tudor Creek has drawn praise from government officials after international environmental advocate Antoine Moses completed a record-breaking environmental feat, with Forestry Principal Secretary Gitonga Mugambi saying the achievement reflects the spirit needed to restore degraded ecosystems across Kenya.<\/span><\/p>\n

The challenge ended at exactly 08:01 a.m. on Friday, 1st May, after Moses planted 47,460 mangrove propagules within 24 hours at Mirarani, Tudor Creek in Mombasa County, surpassing his previous global benchmark.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking in Mombasa after the feat, Mugambi congratulated the environmental advocate and said Kenya was honoured to host such a globally significant restoration effort, noting that the record is now awaiting ratification by Guinness World Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe welcome him to Kenya, congratulate him for the attempt awaiting ratification and encourage the community and all of Kenya to plug in,\u201d said Mugambi.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PS said Antoine\u2019s endurance challenge directly supports the government\u2019s plan to grow 15 billion trees by 2032 under President William Ruto\u2019s environmental agenda.<\/span><\/p>\n

He observed that mangrove restoration is one of the most complex forms of tree planting because workers operate in muddy zones affected by tides and shifting coastal conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Antoine Moses, after completing the record-breaking environmental feat, is now awaiting ratification.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlanting mangroves is among the toughest forms of restoration,\u201d he said, adding that Antoine\u2019s effort showed what commitment can deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mugambi noted that Kenya\u2019s coastline depends heavily on healthy mangrove forests for biodiversity, fisheries productivity, carbon storage and protection against storm surges.<\/span><\/p>\n

He said the world record attempt had therefore become an important awareness campaign on the value of conserving coastal ecosystems.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the PS, restoration success depends on strong partnerships between government institutions, local communities and private conservation actors.<\/span><\/p>\n

He thanked the Kenya Forest Service, the Kenya Forestry Research Institute, EarthLungs and community groups for supporting the 24-hour exercise at Mirarani Site.<\/span><\/p>\n

The PS said Kenya welcomes innovators and environmental champions willing to contribute to climate action and landscape recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n

He also invited Antoine to visit more parts of the country after the challenge and experience Kenya\u2019s hospitality.<\/span><\/p>\n

As celebrations continued at the site, Mugambi said the achievement should inspire young people to view environmental protection as a noble mission.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that Kenya remains committed to scaling up restoration projects from forests and water towers to drylands and marine ecosystems, as the country positions itself as a leader in global restoration efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n
