My wood is very valuable so I was originally threatened by logging. Now a nasty disease called root rot is causing me lots of problems and is killing lots of trees.

Name: Giant catfish
Status: Critically Endangered
Range: Mekong River basin, Asia
Why am I threatened?
I am the world’s largest freshwater fish so am very popular with fishermen as I provide a lot of food. Overfishing for food is my biggest threat but my habitat is also being destroyed, which disrupts my migration up the river to lay my eggs.
