In this document we provide an overview of smallholder farmers in the Amazon region of Peru. Smallholders are a key part of the forested landscape, but information about their activities and their relation to forests is scant and fragmented. Using official socio-economic statistics, as well as remote sensing-derived forest cover maps, we provide a general characterization of smallholder farmers in the Amazon region, and follow with a discussion of their relationship to and implications for deforestation. Our objective is that this factsheet becomes a useful input for discussion for the strategic planning of Peru’s forest sector.
