  11. Interesting findings 1) High relative forest dependency in Pando and Acre - 89-96% forest cover; extractivist culture 2) Dominance of Brazil nuts in Bolivia - Yields high profit with low inputs; - Well-developed middleman system for nuts - Presence of Brazil nut producers’ cooperatives 3) Similar forest-dependency across wealth groups - Everyone’s in the forest. High value of Brazil nuts nearly everyone collects

  12. 4) Greater income diversification in Brazil * Higher income from livestock in Brazil - Regional/local demand for cattle (since 1970’s); access - Cowboy culture * “Other” category = government aid * Government subsidies for natural rubber
