TL;DR Summary

Four children from the Huitoto Indigenous community in Colombia were rescued after surviving for 40 days alone in the Amazon jungle following a plane crash. The eldest child, Lesly Mukutuy, used ancestral knowledge to identify edible fruits, find suitable water, and avoid dangerous plants and animals. The children were found in a small jungle clearing 3 miles from the wreckage, where they had been hiding out of fear. The children are being treated for malnutrition and minor injuries.
