"Zoo of the Future" — Activities like in the nature
Handmade enrichments made of wood.
For ecological and visual reasons, but also because we don't want to offer zoo animals any "foreign bodies" that are industrially manufactured with plastic.
We want to promote "enrichments" that are visually integrated into the enclosure/the facility and are mentally valuable.
Variety
Because enrichments are usually set up and taken down more frequently in the enclosure due to the variety for the animals, we also pay attention on simple installation and uncomplicated handling during the development.
Decide for Widukind Enrichments as an alternative or addition and offer your zoo animals and visitors individual and handmade enrichments.
“An enrichment”
“Widukind has implemented our ideas and built the enrichments from natural materials, so that it suits our needs, and of course those of the animals too. :-) Many thanks for this great enrichment, also from the animals, because they have fun with it.”
Jeanne Falkenberg, Zookeeper, Tierpark Berlin, Germany
“Highly Recommendable”

Artificial Landscapes and Rocks
BETON.ROCKS — a strong partner
With years of experience, extensive knowledge of materials and a good eye for the decisive details in the field of artificial rock, our partner Beton.Rocks forms a strong team together with Widukind. From simple concrete landscapes with huge rocks and artificial surfaces to tropical-looking underwater concrete trees, deceptively real medieval villages to abandoned ancient cultural testimonies with a love of detail. Creating worlds that nobody doubts in their authenticity and that make you forget the primary building material CONCRETE.
“The ‘zoo of the future’ is becoming more and more authentic and designed as close to nature as possible based on the animals natural habitats.”
Christoph Isbarn - CEO
Founder of Widukind Enrichments. Animal- and naturelover, outdoor fan und canoe enthusiast. For him, plastic objects and plastic toys are no longer "state of the art" in modern zoos.
The "zoo of the future" is beeing modeled more and more authentically and as naturally as possible on the habitat of the animals. Accordingly, enrichments for zoo animals should no longer be foreign bodies and should be integrated practically and visually into the facilities.
