Mücke/Prigen. Preserving biological diversity is one of the greatest challenges of our time. Many animal species are on the brink of extinction, particularly in Southeast Asia. The TSI Prigen Conservation Breeding Ark in East Java, Indonesia, is one of the most modern ex situ facilities for endangered species. Procon Grumbach is making a decisive contribution to the success of this project with state-of-the-art breeding technology.
Precision technology for endangered species
The Prigen Conservation Breeding Ark was founded in 2017 by Taman Safari Indonesia together with international partners. The aim is to breed highly endangered bird species, especially songbirds, but also mammals and other animals, under human care. The aim is not only to ensure the survival of individual species, but also to preserve genetic diversity for future reintroductions.
Procon Grumbach provides the technical basis for this. The incubators enable even the most sensitive eggs to hatch successfully through precise control of temperature, humidity, and turning cycles. They are regarded worldwide as the benchmark for ex situ projects and are a decisive factor in the sustainable success of breeding stations.
Support for international species conservation programs.
The collaboration between Procon Grumbach and the Prigen Conservation Breeding Ark demonstrates how technology and species conservation work together. Incubators from Germany help to breed species that are barely able to survive in the wild. Endangered species such as the Javan pied starling and the hill myna have already been successfully bred at the Prigen Conservation Breeding Ark.
In addition to their direct benefits in breeding, the incubators also provide valuable data on breeding conditions, hatching success, and development processes. This information is documented, scientifically evaluated, and made available to future generations of breeders and researchers.
Responsibility and further development
Procon Grumbach develops its products specifically for the special requirements of species conservation programs, scientific institutions, and zoological projects. The focus is on combining many years of experience, our own development department, and state-of-the-art automation technology. Every innovation is designed to provide breeding stations and conservation programs with the best possible technical support.
A milestone in global species conservation
The partnership between Procon Grumbach and the TSI Prigen Conservation Breeding Ark is an example of how modern breeding technology can significantly improve the chances of success in species conservation. It shows that technological innovation can make a tangible difference—for species conservation, for research, and for the preservation of biodiversity.
