The overarching objective of this dissertation is to contribute to the development of the necessary innovations by analyzing if the quality of conservation planning and management can be improved through the combination of ecosystem-based and participatory methods. A twofold process approached this objective. Since functional ecosystems are the prerequisite of any sustainable development, the first part of this thesis analyzes how ecosystem functionality could be measured. Through theoretical work underpinned by an intensive literature study, this dissertation explores, which key ecological attributes are essential for the functionality of conservation objects and which changes can impair their integrity and behavior. In the second part, the potentials and limitations of participatory processes to enhance the quality of conservation planning and management are explored. To this purpose, the outcomes of 23 participatory vulnerability assessments that were conducted with the MARISCO method (adaptive MAnagement of vulnerability and RISks at COnservation sites) are analyzed according to three fields of investigation. The first field of investigation examines the framework conditions for conservation and development efforts and analyzed if practitioners were aware of them. The second field of investigation explores how diverse knowledge systems could be incorporated into ecosystem-based conservation planning and management. Finally, the third field of investigation analyzes if the educational background of the participants influenced the quality of the outcomes of participatory analysis.
