“After five years of trying, Lauren Augustine successfully hatched two Bourret’s box turtles, a critically endangered turtle native to Vietnam and Laos. Lauren’s passion for these beautiful turtles is contagious. She is the Species Survival Plan coordinator and has worked hard to grow the breeding program. This species’ eggs are particularly difficult to hatch because the adults require brumation, the process of consistent seasonal temperature cycling, before they are able to successfully reproduce. Throughout embryonic development, Lauren, along with the Reptile Discovery Center team, constantly checked and adjusted the incubator. This hatching was a first for the Zoo and a first for the Species Survival Plan for Bourret’s box turtles. Lauren lives and breathes reptile and amphibian conservation. Her attention to detail and ability to ask the next question greatly benefits the Zoo, the field-at-large and, most importantly, the animals.” – Alan Peters, curator of the Reptile Discovery Center #NZKW2017 @fonznationalzoo
