Resumo(s)
Over-exploitation of ecosystem services and lacking implementation of conservation ef forts are challenges that world economies are facing and force policy makers and practitioners
to rethink their approaches to natural capital. This thesis develops a potential framework to
improve environmental and economic protection of the Alpstein region in Switzerland, by incorporating ecosystem service valuation and stakeholder participation. Following the analysis
of 20+ in-person interviews with regional stakeholders, the study finds that declaring the Alpstein region to an official Nature Park under Swiss regulation is a feasible approach to ensure the
ecosystem’s long-term conservation while accounting for stakeholder’s priorities and concerns.
