THE EFFECTS OF MIGRATION ON PROPERTY RIGHTS AND LIVELIHOODS ON FOREST FRONTIERS IN THE PERUVIAN AMAZON
Peter Cronkleton
Migrant settlements on forest frontiers in the Peruvian Amazon have produced complex mosaics of property rights, as well as varying degrees of insecurity and conflict that hamper economic development and resource conservation. Migration is a common strategy used by residents to adapt to environmental and economic change, however, policy makers in Peru lack detailed information about current migration patterns, or how shifts in settlement patterns are a response to economic incentives and governmental investments in infrastructure and services. In addition, planners have limited information on how changes in property claims effect land use or patterns of deforestation.
