The overall aim of my research is to contribute knowledge on biodiversity, land use patterns, and landscape vulnerabilities within the Greater Nimba Landscape, Guinea, Africa. Towards this aim, I identified three main objectives: (1) spatio-temporal land-use and land-cover change analysis, (2) implementation of spatial monitoring tools for biodiversity and hunting threat assessments, and (3) threat-based spatially explicit modeling. During the previous year, I focused on objectives (1) and (2). I traveled to the University of Maryland to work with researchers at the Global Land Analysis and Discovery laboratory to quantify tree cover loss in Guinea between 2000 and 2018 (Obj. 1). Additionally, I spent 3 months in Guinea reestablishing a research presence within the Nimba mountains. Myself and a group of research assistants set up two camps in Nimba from which we ran multi-day research trips. During these trips we set up a network of camera traps and conducted field surveys to collect data on biodiversity and hunting (Obj. 2).The next year, I aim to make significant progress towards completing my PhD and contributing knowledge that will help to balance socioeconomic activities with conservation activities in the Great Nimba Landscape.

我的研究的总体目标是贡献知识的生物多样性，土地利用模式和景观脆弱性内的大宁巴景观，几内亚，非洲。为了实现这一目标，我确定了三个主要目标：（1）时空土地利用和土地覆盖变化分析，（2）实施生物多样性和狩猎威胁评估的空间监测工具，（3）基于威胁的空间显式建模。在过去一年中，我重点关注目标（1）和（2）。我前往马里兰州大学，与全球土地分析和发现实验室的研究人员合作，量化2000年至2018年几内亚的树木覆盖损失（物镜. 1）。此外，我花了3个月的时间在几内亚重建宁巴山的研究机构。我和一群研究助理在宁巴建立了两个营地，我们在那里进行了为期多日的研究旅行。在这些旅行中，我们建立了一个相机陷阱网络，并进行了实地调查，以收集生物多样性和狩猎的数据（目标2）。明年，我的目标是在完成博士学位方面取得重大进展，并贡献有助于平衡大宁巴景观的社会经济活动和保护活动的知识。
