Shipibo-Conibo
The Shipibo-Conibo are an indigenous people of Peru. With a whole of 20,178 registered individuals, the Shipibo-Conibo represent 8.42 % of the indigenous registered population. It is necessary to indicate that the information censal does not record the Shipibo-Coniba population established in the urban areas of Pucallpa and Yarinacocha as part of the entire population of this group. It is thought that at least 600 Shipibo-Coniba families in the last thirty years have moved from their communities to urban centers to gain access to better educational and health services, as well as to look for alternative sources of monetary income.
