Last year, Bhutan set a Guinness World Record by planting nearly 50,000 trees in just one hour. This year, they have doubled that amount and 108,000 saplings were planted in the tiny mountain Kingdom to commemorate the birth of the first Royal Child of His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Her Majesty Queen Jetsun Pema.
Each of the 82,000 households in the nation planted a tree and another 26,000 were planted by volunteers around the country. “Each tree was sealed with a prayer for the heir to the throne,” reports The Diplomat.
“In Buddhism, a tree is the provider and nourisher of all life forms,’ said Tenzin Lekphell, who coordinated the initiative. ‘It symbolizes longevity, health, beauty and even compassion.” They chose to plant 108,000 because, in Buddhism, 108 is a sacred number.
