Conservation covenants serve as a crucial mechanism for protecting biodiversity on private lands in Australia. However, the adoption of covenants is mainly voluntary and can be affected by landowners' economic, conservation, lifestyle, and social-psychological values. Despite the potential benefits of strategically recruiting landholders to enhance the effectiveness and cost-efficiency of these programs, limited research exists on which messaging strategies best capture landowners' interest in adopting conservation covenants.
Framing can influence how a problem is perceived by emphasising certain aspects of communication that align with the audience's preferences or biases. This research project aims to conduct a 10-minute experimental online survey to investigate how different messaging frames—focusing on environmental security and financial benefits, legacy protection, or place attachment—affect landowners’ willingness to engage with conservation covenants and their information-seeking behavior
