Francisco Sebastião Ferreira de Lima, a 28-year-old man, was located after being lost for three days in the woods while hunting with his father in the Comunidade Veneza area of Porto Walter, Acre. He disappeared on Sunday, September 8, and was reported missing until he managed to return home on Wednesday, September 11, dehydrated and with minor injuries from thorns. Upon his return, he required medical attention but was later released to his home after assessment by healthcare professionals.

During his time in the woods, Ferreira de Lima survived by consuming local fruits he found on the ground, including sapota and açaí. His account reveals the harsh conditions he endured, having to use his teeth to break palm fronds for shelter from the rain and even sleeping while standing on the first night. The search and rescue operations were initiated by the local fire department, with about 19 personnel, including volunteers joining in the efforts to locate him as soon as he was reported missing.

The swift search operation and the eventual finding of Ferreira de Lima underscore both the risks associated with outdoor activities like hunting and the importance of community support in search and rescue efforts. His experience serves as a reminder of the need for precautions when venturing into wilderness areas, especially in challenging terrains such as those found in Acre, Brazil.
