Settlers included: farmers practicing slash-and-burn agriculture in upper forested areas, slash-and-burn farmers living along rivers, small-scale cattle ranchers with lands located largely along the road connecting Pucallpa to Lima, and a subset of forest slash-and-burn farmers who had established oil palm as a cash crop.
