In Peru, migration into, within, and out of Amazonia has long existed, although drivers of mobility vary and remain subject to changes in socio-cultural and political processes. Indigenous and non-indigenous people in the region have moved in search of food, land, other sources of livelihood, while some groups have been forced to leave their territories (Garcia & Surrallés 2009; Hecht et al. 2015). Improved infrastructure and an increased demand for natural resources in recent years have led to an increase in migration rates to the region (Dourojeanni et al. 2008).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
