Sampling
SIR Model
Three ABMs
Together with local communities and experts' insights, BCOMING will create three models that involve ABM model that involves a computational representation of critical species (e.g. bats) and humans (e.g. livelihoods, hunting, guano collectors).
Biodiversity information will be integrated and modelled either as food web species interactions or by specifying habitat types linked to land areas.

Journal of BCOMING's Field Mission in Guinea: Part 2
Our journey from N'Zérékoré to Macenta led us to the Prefect's residence, where we completed administrative formalities. With the Deputy Prefectural Director of Agriculture and Livestock, we met community representatives at a workshop organized by Fauna et Flora Internationale. Despite the absence of local authorities due to a training course, we received encouragement for our wildlife monitoring efforts.
