  68. In 1991, one of Brazil’s leading indigenous rights organizations, People of the Forest Alliance, issued a scathing attack on Cultural Survival’s Rainforest Marketing program. “Cultural Survival reveals that 40% of its profits from sales of products would go back to grassroots organizations. We have not seen any returns.”
Cultural Survival’s director of finance, Walter Gates, explained why. “We are applying the profits to the loan”—a $100,000 loan given to the rubber gatherers’ cooperative in 1990 to set up its nut-shelling and processing factory. “From time to time, the producers have been a little unhappy with us,” he said. “So we invited [one of them] up here to see for himself some of the problems we have in marketing the products.” One of CSE’s major problems, explains CSE founder Jason Clay, is that the cooperative is being forced to become competitive on the world market. A “short term subsidy” from CSE—the price it paid for the co ops’ nuts—“could easily wane in a few years” so “it is important to find new markets.” Inevitably, CSE began looking to “Fortune 500 Companies” for marketing its nontimber forest products.
