We found different integration levels of all capitals by social actors in both cantons, with different outcomes in natural resources conservation, ecosystem services provision and social welfare. We conclude that local development is determined not only by the availability of the natural resource endowment but also by a good articulation amongst human, social, political and cultural capitals. The formulation of a locally shared and integral long term view of the territorial development is a
