Four young children surviving 40 days in the Amazonian jungle has attracted global headlines, as have other children who triumphed against the odds

Forty days after their plane crashed into the Colombian Amazon jungle, four Indigenous children have been rescued – found malnourished, covered in insect bites, but alive.

The siblings from the Huioto Indigenous community – aged 13, nine, four and 11-months – survived one of the most uninhabitable parts of the country in a remarkable feat of resilience against heavy storms, predatory animals, and armed groups.
