Wolfgang Cramer, Co-Chair of the Scientific Steering Committee of ecoSERVICES and a past member of the DIVERSITAS Scientific Committee, speaks to Vivian Lam about the DIVERSITAS programme and how young scientists can get involved with initiatives like DIVERSITAS and Future Earth. ecoSERVICES is a project dedicated to investigating the impact of biodiversity change on ecosystem functioning and services, and human well-being.

This video was filmed at the DIVERSITAS Celebration on 30 September 2014 in Seville, Spain. DIVERSITAS is in an international research programme on biodiversity science. Founded in 1991, DIVERSITAS will transition to Future Earth in 2014. Find out more at bit.ly/1sZ2GcB

Vivian Lam is one of four young researchers who were selected to join the conference and to play the role of reporters. The main objective of this initiative was to relay the lessons that can be learned from the DIVERSITAS experience to the broader DIVERSITAS and Future Earth community, and especially the next generation of biodiversity scientists and practitioners.
