Each and every individual who visits Colchester Zoo helps to assist the Zoo’s charity, Colchester Zoological Society, which supports conservation projects both here in the UK and around the world! Without loyal supporters, they wouldn’t be able to provide the much needed funds which helps to care for wildlife and wild places.
