Three hundred volunteers in Pakistan planted 541,176 mangrove trees
(by hand) in one day, subsequently breaking the Guinness World Record
for tree planting.
The volunteers managed to do it all without the aid
of mechanical equipment. They planted the mangroves in the Indus River
Delta wetland ecosystem in the Southern Sindh Province of Pakistan.
“This is a wonderful example of partnership between government, local
communities and the private sector for a common cause, for
conservation.” – Richard Garstang, head of WWF Pakistan Wetlands
Program.
The previous record holder was India for most trees planted in one day was India with 447,874 trees.
