A VIDEO showing a pangolin amid heavy rain has raised concern on social media over the potential impact of expanding development on natural habitats and wildlife.

The video was shared by Threads user @gwenchanacafe, who expressed sympathy for the animal and raised concerns about the possible loss of its natural shelter due to ongoing construction and development.

In the post, the user called for greater consideration of the environment, particularly in relation to the construction of high-end condominiums and luxury homes, questioning whether economic interests were being prioritised at the expense of wildlife and local communities.

The post also prompted emotional reactions from other users, with one commenter expressing sadness for the pangolin, suggesting that it appeared confused and may have lost its shelter. The commenter also questioned how wildlife could cope as their natural surroundings were increasingly affected.
