Forty days ago a plane crashed in the Amazon jungles of Colombia. After this incident, news came that all the people aboard the plane were killed. It is now reported that four children aboard this plane have been found alive. All of them are brothers and sisters. It is being told that to save his life, he spent his days in the forest eating seeds, roots, and plants.

 

These siblings were rescued by a rescue operation by the army and organizations between the provinces of Caqueta and Guaviare in Colombia. The National Organization of Indigenous Peoples of Colombia (OPAC) states that the survival of children is an indication of how much knowledge they had of the natural environment and their relationship with it, which begins in the mother's womb.

 

Luis Acosta of the National Indigenous Organization of Colombia (ONIC) told AFP the children ate seeds, fruits, roots, and plants they recognized as edible in the Amazon region. Acosta, who took part in the search operation, said the children were filled with "spiritual power". We have a special relationship with nature, said Javier Betancourt, another member of ONIC. The world needs such a special relationship with nature, indigenous people (tribals) live in the forest and take care of it.

 

President Petro praised the search team

The soldiers worked side by side with indigenous trackers for 20 days during the search. President Gustavo Petro praised the ONIC and the troops and said it shows respect for the jungle. Army helicopters broadcast a recording of the children's grandmother told them, in the indigenous Huitoto language, to stay put until rescuers arrived.

 

"President Petro brought us together," Acosta told local media, referring to soldiers and indigenous experts. "In an initial meeting eight days before the search began, the president told us that we needed to go with the army because the army can't do it alone," he said.

 

The plane crash happened on 1 May 2023

On May 1, a single-engine propeller plane from a company called Cessna crashed. The plane was carrying seven people to the city of San Jose del Amazon in the state of Amazonas.
