"According to the most recent Census of Indigenous Communities of the Peruvian Amazon (INEI: 2007), currently the Kashibo-Kakataibo number about 1879. However, the Kashibo- Kakataibo‘s political organization (FENACOCA) considered that their number was around 3,000 or 3,500 in 2007 (Fernando Estrella, pc.).
