The goal of this research project has been to understand how to improve the design and delivery of MBIs and incentive programs to increase the participation of landholders. Low levels of participation can reduce the ability of programs to achieve their desired outcomes, as well as reduce their efficiency. To understand how to increase landholder participation, answers to three main research questions have been sought, namely 1) what are the characteristics of MBIs and incentive programs that encourage participation, 2) who participates in MBIs and incentive programs and 3) how can MBIs and incentives be better communicated to increase participationΓ
