If you are thinking about ditching health insurance all together but are worried about going completely naked in the case something big comes up, you should give CrowdHealth a look. Here is what our CrowdHealth members have paid on average/month over the last 12 months: $143

David recently served as vice president and succeeds the inspirational Karen Fifield and brings a wealth of international experience to the position, and will continue WAZA’s exceptional work unifying zoos and aquariums worldwide as a collective voice for nature 🌎

Congratulations to our charity’s chief executive David Field on his appointment as President of @waza 💚 Nature needs us all more than ever and the role of zoos in driving forward species recovery has never been more important.

Recently @ScotLINK Nature Champions demonstrated outside @ScotParl as MSPs debated the Natural Environment Bill. We're calling on @scotgov to set legally binding targets for nature recovery, and put more funding into helping protect and restore our natural environment 💚

Most companies chase no-code. These guys did the opposite. Instead of replacing engineers, @timgdelisle & @chriscrane, Co-Founder Fiveonefour, built tools that make devs 10x faster. Here’s what we discussed: • Why “developer-first” beats “no-code” • How simplifying code

Our conservation team recently presented at the @BIAZA Conservation Conference hosted by @YorkshireWP🌿 Laura Daniels, Sam Mitchell and Cecilia Langhorne shared exciting updates on wildcat research, NGO cooperation and dark bordered beauty moth breeding 🦋

🌿@BCFS_Masindi isn't only about chimpanzees. Researchers are also studying birds to better understand the wider forest, as they are highly responsive to changes in their environment, making them key indicators of forest health🌳 📸Jameson’s wattle-eye💚

Team work makes the dream work✨ Alongside our keepers and vets, experts from @CopenhagenZoo, @chesterzoo and @TheDickVet came together to ensure the investigation of a giraffe's swollen face went smoothly. Find out more 🔗 https://t.co/SB4zlR72mV

Since 2021, @IcasWild community fire brigades have helped protect the Pantanal from wildfires. 25 ranches now safeguard 1,600 km² 🔥 Just days after filming this video, a fire broke out on a ranch, but thanks to the brigade's training and equipment, it was quickly put out 🧯💚

Women choose courtship, men pick wives. Women are conservative with who they date, men are conservative with who they marry. Women are picky when it comes to sex, men are picky when it comes to commitment. To be a wife you have to be selected. We need Fathers to teach this.

Our efforts are conducted in close collaboration with the Cambodian Ministry of Environment and @TheWCS Cambodia Program. We also thank the Critical Ecosystem Partnership Fund and the The Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund for the financial support of this project.

The study has shown exciting next steps for the project: 🧬 To increase genetic diversity in the conservation breeding programme 🔬 Conducting whole-genome sequencing to better assess inbreeding risk 🌏 Exploring the genetic relationship with the Indian & Nepalese subspecies

The study has shown very low genetic-diversity in the Cambodian population, meaning they are more vulnerable than we hoped. The results will help guide us with careful breeding planning.

Together with our partners at the Angkor Centre for Conservation of Biodiversity and the Royal University of Phnom Penh, we’ve carried out the first-ever genetic study of Bengal Floricans in Cambodia!

The fastest growing recruiting platform just keeps getting better. Schools are signing on rapidly to find top talent in College Athletics.

We're a SUCKER for a good conservation story 🩸 Our second breeding season for medicinal leeches has been incredibly successful! 🪱 We've welcomed 30 hatchlings which have emerged from 12 cocoons. Find out more 🔗 https://t.co/E0JIBmZvyt

Happy Snow Leopard Day 💚 We’re proud to partner with @snowleopards and @NordensArk to turn wild snow leopard research cameras into powerful tools for protecting their lesser-known cousin - the Pallas’s cat 😼 These cameras help safeguard both of these rare mountain cats 🎥

Snailed it 🐌 We released thousands of rare pond mud snails into the Pentlands alongside partners @RSPBScotland, Pentland Hills Regional Park Service and @DrScottArthurMP 💚 While they may be tiny they have a huge effect on their habitats. Read more 🔗 https://t.co/ccIy16TQEk

18 more wildcats have been released into the Cairngorms National Park this year by @SaveOurWildcats 💚 This means a total of 46 wildcats have been released since 2023! This is a huge step forward for restoring the species to Scotland. Find out more 🔗 https://t.co/psayPtZkhU

They then clamp on with their sucker until they've had their fill and drop off, before being returned to their cosy tank to snooze off their big meal 😴 Have we managed to convince you these little guys aren't so scary? 🧛

This Halloween we are celebrating the original blood sucker (sorry Dracula) 🩸 Ever wonder how our medicinal leeches are fed? First, keeper Adam prepares some sausage-skins filled with blood that are warmed up to mimic body temperature 🌡️
