After years of steady growth, a drought has sharply reduced the clan's resources, and deadly vulture attacks have increased. As things keep getting worse, the har­mony of the clan is shattered. The executive team quarrels about possible solutions, and sugges­tions from frontline workers face a soul-crushing response: \"That's not how we do it here!\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSo Nadia, a bright and adventurous meerkat, hits the road in search of new ideas to help her trou­bled clan.
