another important way that REDD+ projects affect community control over territories is by creating divisions within communities. while many promises of employment through REDD+ projects remain unfulfilled, REDD+ projects generally do hire people from
within the community to work as forest rangers or guards whose role it is to report on compliance with REDD+ project rules within the community. in other words, they are expected to keep an eye on other members of the community.their role is to
report to the project owners if community members cut down trees, hunt, fish, grow food crops in the forest or use the forests as they have always done but which is forbidden under the REDD+ project rules.
