Researchers Develop Protective Nests for At-Risk Turtles in Ontario

UW researchers are hoping to help turtles lay eggs more safely

Researchers from the University of Waterloo are hoping to help endangered turtles suffering from habitat loss by building them nests. The new nests will help keep eggs at the right temperature and ensure more of them hatch safely.

Designing a better nest to help endangered turtles

With Ontario s eight species of turtles considered at risk, a new nest designed by researchers has the potential to significantly bolster their struggling populations. The habitat is the first designed for turtles in rock barren landscapes, such as the research site around Georgian Bay. It uses moss and lichen. The researchers found that the design provided a more stable environment for incubating eggs compared to natural sites, where the probability of an egg hatching was only 10 per cent compared to 41 per cent in the created site.
