The Asháninka or Asháninca (also known by the exonym "Campa" or "Kampa", which is considered derogatory) are an indigenous people living in the rainforests of Peru and in the State of Acre Brazil.
The Asháninka (their name means: our kinsmen) are estimated between 25,000 and 45,000. Only a few hundred of these live on the Brazilian side of the border. That means that among the 300,000 native people from 65 different ethnic groups in the Peruvian Amazon, the Asháninka are the second largest indigenous group, the Quechua being the largest.
The Ashaninka communities are scattered throughout the central rainforests of Peru in the Provinces of Junin, Pasco, Huanuco and a part of Ucayali, and the state of Acre in Brazil.
After Brazil and New Guinea, Peru is believed to have the highest number of uncontacted tribes in the world.[6]
The Asháninka are mostly dependent on subsistence agriculture. They use the slash-and-burn method to clear lands and to plant yucca roots, sweet potato, corn, bananas, rice, coffee, cacao and sugar cane in biodiversity-friendly techniques. They live from hunting and fishing, primarily using bows and arrows or spears, as well as from collecting fruit and vegetables in the jungle.

Indigenous Asháninka communities in the Amazon rainforest in Peru have asked us to help them supply freshwater to four remote villages. The communities themselves will design and build the water infrastructure, but have asked for support to purchase the materials.
We are aiming to raise £8,000 initially to cover the materials for the first two villages, including tanks, pipes, and a tap for at least 40 households. This will give around 300 people access to clean fresh water for drinking and sanitation.

Peru's Asháninka people gain autonomy through cacao farming
In Peru's "Central Jungle" region, indigenous Asháninka people, who were traditionally hunter-gatherers, are increasingly turning to cacao farming. After years of selling their cacao to big corporations for little money, they have taken matters in their own hands. In this remote area, Peruvians from other regions have been hunting wild animals in large quantities for decades. But thanks to cacao, which is processed into chocolate, the Asháninka are breathing new life into their ancestral territory while living autonomously. Our correspondent Thomas Nicolon reports.

Voices of Peru NGO The Asháninka People
I founded Voices of Peru, a non-government organization to support the Asháninka people of Peru, in April 2019. The Asháninka peoples' livelihoods are being threatened as more corporations are stealing their land for logging, mining, growing illegal cocaine, palm oil, and many other high demand products. As and educator, my aim is to bring education, school supplies, solar panels, and linen for them to make their clothing as they want to keep colonizer life outside of their world.

Inspired by the work of Phillips and Pereira, Lanfranchi completed this project with the Asháninka people of Apiwtxa as an example of how ancestral knowledge and modernity can coexist in harmony.
Kicking off with testimony from the Asháninka people whose land was hijacked, his stated aim is a Conradian voyage upriver – only reversing the “romance” surrounding the colonial plunder of the time ...
