I posted a photo of a tortoise I saw next to my house, (1 meter from my house) which lives on a large plot of hillside jungle undeveloped land. Not sure how big the parcel is but quite .. it is about a quarter kilometer or more until the next houses. I have heard that they want to build (another ) hotel on this land. They ..  not sure if the THEY own the land yet.

As someone on this forum kindly identified the tortoise as " a wild animal native to the region and is also on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as: "Endangered""

(thank you Goshawk)

Would having an endangered animal living there have any bearing on development??

Yes I know people get shot here over land issues but just wondering..

I would suggest contacting IUCN for advice on this.

may contact the fishery department, faculty of agriculture, Kasetsart University, if they want to take good care of these species . . .

not sure if we could do anything on the developer, in a big doubt . . .
