The Zoological Society of East Anglia is a conservation and education charity based in Banham, in the East of England. It operates Africa Alive Zoological Reserve in Suffolk and Banham Zoological Gardens in Norfolk, two sites that give visitors access to wildlife experiences while advancing its conservation and education aims. Through programs and spaces that encourage learning about nature, the organization seeks to spark lifelong interest in protecting biodiversity and to provide opportunities for people to encounter animals and native wildlife in open, green settings. It positions itself as a modern zoo focused on preserving wild futures and serving as a hub for conservation, education, and community work. With more than five decades of activity behind it, ZSEA serves communities across East Anglia by making nature and wildlife accessible and by fostering informed engagement with conservation. The charity emphasizes education and public access as core parts of its mission. In 2024, it expanded its offerings with the launch of Zoo Camping Nights at Africa Alive, illustrating its ongoing effort to broaden audience experiences beyond day visits.
