The Royal Zoological Society of South Australia (commonly known as "Zoos SA") is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of wildlife and their habitats, education, and research. The society is located in Adelaide, South Australia, and it operates two zoos in South Australia: Adelaide Zoo and Monarto Safari Park. The society was founded, initially under the name of "the Acclimatization Society of South Australia", on 9 August 1878 by a group of prominent Adelaide citizens led by Augustus Short, the first Anglican Bishop of Adelaide. He believed that a society dedicated to the study and conservation of animals was needed to ensure their survival. The society was established with the aim of creating a zoo and botanical garden in Adelaide, which would be used for scientific research, recreation, and education. The name was changed to "SA Zoological and Acclimatisation Society" in 1882. The society was granted royal patronage by King George VI in 1937, in celebration of the society’s Diamond Jubilee, and the name was changed again to "The Royal Zoological Society of South Australia".
