Calling all early-career researchers and practitioners in the ESP community! 🌍
The field of ecosystem services is evolving fast — and the people shaping its next chapter are often the ones least asked what they think. Young Ecosystem Services Specialists (YESS), ESP’s early-career collaboration unit, launches a global survey to capture our collective experiences, systemic barriers, and future priorities to help bridge the gap between science and policy..
“Early-Career Perspectives on Ecosystem Services Science” aims to capture the experiences, systemic barriers, and priorities of early-career professionals across the ES field — helping bridge the gap between science and policy from the ground up.
Whether you’re a student, postdoc, junior researcher, or early-career practitioner working on ecosystem services or related fields, your voice matters here.
🔗 Take the survey (Takes just a few minutes — QR code below for easy mobile access)
How you can help:
✅ Complete the survey yourself
✅ Share it with your lab, institution, or research network
✅ Pass it along to any early-career colleagues in ecosystem services or adjacent fields
The more diverse and global the response, the stronger the case we can make for early-career voices in shaping the future of ES science and policy.

Thank you for helping strengthen the voice of the next generation of ecosystem services science!
