Why are they at risk??

           These are some of the causes that makes Asháninka Native Community be at risk.

           Drug Trafficking:

Foreign people come to their area so they grow and produce coca. For that they need to use a long space so they need to cut the trees down, and a big quantity of chemicals products that are really dangerous for everyone. After they use all of this they just throw the garbage wherever they want.

      Migration:

Andean people occupy the Asháninka territory because they find there more rich grounds or lands for agriculture.

Wood Extraction:

There are some people that illegally cut down the trees and this affect this native community. This causes a lot of trouble because for that they need to cut a lot of trees down so they habitat is destroyed, also the wood extractors need to build roads so they can get out all the wood and this is a big risk for the Asháninka because this roads can make other people be able to enter to their territory.

 Roads:

There are more roads than before and this attracts more people so they can do tours everywhere.

The use of natural resources:

As always there are people that try to take a lot of natural resources from other places that is what is happening to the Asháninka; they don’t have the enough resources to sustain themselves.
