People of the Zapocó watershed territory in the Bolivian Eastern, has a long tradition of growing cattle, exploiting the forest and setting up water access points. Recently with newcomers of different origins, these activities have increased in intensity, leading to deforestation and rising competition for water and land. Contentious issues are getting more numerous within a complex legal framework aiming to promote environmental protection, agricultural production as well as new settlements in this region. Associated with extreme events and diminishing rainfall, Climate Change (CC) might worsen current trends and generate more conflicts. In this context, the restoration or enhancement of ecosystem services (ES) becomes essential for CC adaptation, as stated in the EcoAdapt research-action project where the authors are collaborating. However, before elaborating responses in terms of CC adaptation strategies, existing information requires systematization for a common understanding amongst stakeholders of what is going on in their territory. For that matter, an analysis of socio-ecological dynamics was conducted in the Zapocó watershed. The present communication proposes to discuss the methodological choices for this analysis and their relevance for a shared representation of current processes. Three approaches and their tools were considered: The Open Standards for the Practice of Conservation (OSPC) from the Conservation Measures Partnership; The Problem-Actor - Resources-Dynamics-Interactions (PARDI) from the Companion Modeling research community and the Resilience Assessment framework from the Resilience Alliance (RA). Instead of considering them as alternative approaches and fully develop one of them, we borrow from each, what best serves our purpose. We thus highlight complementarities in our specific study. The OSPC framework generates a conceptual framework with an initial concern for "conservation objects" and allows stakeholders to state what factors threate
