United States involvement
The US federal government has invested significant resources in CAMPFIRE, principally through USAID. By 1997 a total of $7 million had been donated. As the some of the policy positions of the organization conflicted with US legislation, particularly on the question of the legality of marketing products from endangered species, this created controversy in US politics.[1]
Results
At one point, CAMPFIRE leadership chose to invest communal development funds from tourism revenue to build a beer hall. [2]
