1) An indigenous tribe in the Amazon jungle is dying off and will be extinct by the end of the year if the problem is not solved. 2) Tribe members must work as a team to go through the creative problem solving process to identify what is killing the village and ensure its survival. They generate ideas like disease, viruses, and animals as potential causes. 3) The tribe tests the ideas by implementing solutions like cleaning the water and area, stopping mosquito breeding, and using smoke. They determine the source is mosquitoes transmitting disease and the village must now undertake regular cleanings and preventing further breeding to avoid future tragedy.
