Two indigenous little brothers have been rescued after being lost for four weeks in the rainforests of the Brazilian Amazon.
Glauco and Gleison Ferreira, aged six and eight, were lost as they set out to catch wild birds in the jungle near Manicoré, in the Brazilian state of Amazonas on February 18.
A local tree-cutter found them by chance on Tuesday.
The two children are expected to recover without serious problems as they are being treated in hospital for malnutrition problems.
They were lost in the Amazon during the rainy season, a time when it is difficult to move around, and could not be found despite residents searching.
Emergency services had stopped their search since February 24 but the locals had continued their efforts, writes the local network Amazônia Real.
About four weeks later the boys were found by a man cutting down trees about 6 km away from the village of Palmeira in the Lago Capanã protected reserve, where the boys live with their parents, writes ‘Amazônia Real’.
One of them had called for help when they heard the man hitting the trees, who had found them in the woods, weak and hungry, with many scratches on the body.
Local media reported that the two boys had not eaten anything during the time they had lost while drinking rainwater.
After being found Glauco and Gleison were taken to Manicoré hospital, before being transported by helicopter to Manaus according to the local Globo network.
This is not the first time people have gotten lost in the Amazon rainforest. In January pilot Antonio Sena spent 36 days in one of the most remote areas of the Brazilian Amazon after his plane crashed.
While in 2008, Amazônia Real writes that an 18-year-old boy from the indigenous population was lost for 50 days in a remote area where he had gone hunting, and tragically lost his life shortly after being found by residents.
