Assessment rationale/justification
This subspecies has a limited range, and a small extent of occurrence and area of occupancy. However, the extent of occurrence and area of occupancy appear to be constant. Its principal native habitat in the Okanagan as well as old fields is declining. Furthermore, old apple orchards where the mouse has been caught are being converted to vineyards. Dispersal distance is limited and the likelihood of rescue effect is small. Extensive sampling has revealed the occurrence of the mouse at more localities. 63,000 hectares of suitable habitat is protected.; Cette sous-espèce a une aire de répartition limitée, une petite zone d'occurrence et une petite zone d'occupation. Toutefois, sa zone d'occurrence et sa zone d'occupation semblent stables. Son principal habitat naturel dans la région de l'Okanagan, de même que les vieux champs, sont en déclin. De plus, les vieux vergers de pommiers o๠cette souris a déjà été capturée sont convertis en vignobles. La distance de dispersion de cette sous-espèce est limitée, et la probabilité d'une immigration de source externe est petite. Un échantillonnage intensif a révélé l'occurrence de la souris à plus d'un endroit. Une superficie de 63 000 hectares d'habitat convenable à l'espèce est protégée.

Assessment rationale/justification
This land-locked subspecies is endemic to Québec and may number as few as 100 individuals. It inhabits a small series of lakes in northern Québec and is the only subspecies to live entirely in fresh water. The population has declined due to hunting and may still be declining. Proposed hydro-electric development would cause pervasive changes to the habitat.; Cette sous-espèce confinée aux eaux intérieures est endémique au Québec, et sa population pourrait compter aussi peu que 100 individus. Elle habite dans un petit groupe de lacs dans le nord du Québec et est la seule sous-espèce à vivre uniquement en eau douce. La population a connu, et connaà®t peut-être encore, un déclin causé par la chasse. Des aménagements hydroélectriques proposés causeraient des changements considérables à l'habitat.

Assessment rationale/justification
The species had been extirpated in British Columbia by the fur trade by the early 1900s, and was re-introduced from 1969-72. It has since repopulated 25-33% of its historic range in British Columbia, but is not yet clearly secure. Numbers are small (<3,500) and require careful monitoring. Their susceptibility to oil and the proximity to major oil tanker routes make them particularly vulnerable to oil spills.; Cette espèce était disparue de la Colombie-Britannique en raison du commerce de sa fourrure dès le début des années 1900 et a fait l'objet d'une réintroduction de 1969 à 1972. Elle a depuis repeuplé de 25 à 33 % son aire de répartition historique en Colombie-Britannique, mais n'est toujours pas complètement en sécurité. Les effectifs sont faibles (moins de 3 500 individus) et nécessitent une étroite surveillance. La sensibilité de l'espèce aux hydrocarbures et sa proximité à d'importants trajets maritimes de pétroliers la rendent particulièrement vulnérable à des déversements d'hydrocarbures.

Assessment rationale/justification
Marten in Newfoundland have declined substantially over the last century. The current population consists of 300-600 mature marten in 5 subpopulations. It is still at risk because of snaring and trapping outside of protected areas and because of forest harvesting. A small decrease in population size would likely result in consideration for Endangered status. The marten is one of few land mammals native to Newfoundland and the sub-species is endemic to Canada.; à‚¬ Terre-Neuve, la martre a subi un important déclin au cours du dernier siècle. La population actuelle compte de 300 à 600 martres matures réparties en cinq sous-populations. La population est toujours en péril à cause du piégeage au collet et du trappage à l'extérieur des aires protégées et à cause de l'exploitation forestière. Une légère diminution de la taille de la population mènerait probablement à considérer le statut ' en voie de disparition '. La martre est l'une des quelques espèces terrestres indigènes de Terre-Neuve, et la sous-espèce est endémique au Canada.

Assessment rationale/justification
Flying squirrels are small inconspicuous nocturnal forest-dwelling rodents with impressive gliding ability. They are difficult to distinguish from the Northern Flying Squirrel. In Nova Scotia, the southern species was first detected in 1971, and until 2001, was only known from seven sites. New recent research located southern flying squirrels in 32 locations and over a much wider area in the southern part of the province than expected. Like a number of species in Nova Scotia, it is at the north of its range and disjunct. Habitat loss through deforestation and fragmentation of intact forest may lead to extirpation of some local populations, but does not currently pose a threat to the species' persistence and the population appears stable.; Les polatouches sont de petits rongeurs sylvicoles, discrets et nocturnes, qui sont dotés d'une capacité impressionnante pour le planage. Ils sont difficiles à distinguer du grand polatouche. En Nouvelle-Écosse, l'espèce a été observée pour la première fois en 1971 et, jusqu'en 2001, on ne connaissait sa présence que dans 7 sites. De nouvelles recherches récentes ont décelé la présence de l'espèce dans 32 emplacements, et ce, dans une aire beaucoup plus grande que prévue dans le sud de la province. Tout comme un certain nombre d'espèces en Nouvelle-Écosse, cette espèce est située à la limite septentrionale de son aire de répartition et est isolée. La perte d'habitat en raison du déboisement et de la fragmentation de forêts intactes pourrait mener à la disparition de certaines populations locales, mais ne constitue actuellement pas une menace à la survie de l'espèce, et la population semble stable.

Assessment rationale/justification
Flying squirrels are small inconspicuous nocturnal forest-dwelling rodents with impressive gliding ability. They are difficult to distinguish from the Northern Flying Squirrel. Dedicated sampling programs have generally revealed greater abundance and range than previously assumed. Its known area of occupancy has expanded. Habitat loss through deforestation and fragmentation of remaining forest may lead to extirpation of some local populations in the southern part of its range in Ontario, but does not currently pose a threat to the persistence of this population. The overall trend in habitat availability is stable or positive. Recent research in Ontario has revealed a much wider range of suitable habitat and reported a substantial range expansion. There is little information on this squirrel from Quebec as there have been no directed surveys for this species. ; Les polatouches sont de petits rongeurs sylvicoles, discrets et nocturnes, qui sont dotés d'une capacité impressionnante pour le planage. Ils sont difficiles à distinguer du grand polatouche. Les programmes d'échantillonnage spécifiques ont généralement révélé une abondance et une aire de répartition plus grandes qu'on ne le croyait. La zone d'occupation connue s'est étendue. La perte d'habitat par suite de la déforestation et de la fragmentation de la forêt résiduelle pourrait se traduire par la disparition de certaines populations locales dans la partie sud de l'aire de répartition en Ontario, mais ne menace pas actuellement la survie de la population. La tendance générale en termes de disponibilité de l'habitat est stable ou positive. De récentes recherches en Ontario ont révélé une superficie beaucoup plus grande de l'habitat convenable pour l'espèce et une expansion considérable de son aire de répartition. Il existe peu d'information sur ce polatouche au Québec étant donné qu'il n'y a pas eu de relevés spécifiques pour cette espèce.

Assessment rationale/justification
The population that breeds on the Pribilof Islands in the Bering Sea feeds in, and migrates through, British Columbia waters. This population numbered about 629,000 animals in 2004. Although still relatively large, the population, as inferred from pup counts, has declined by 50-60% over three generations (1974-2004). The rate of decline has been particularly rapid since 1998. Trends in counts of adult males from 1974-2004 are confounded by response to the cessation, in 1984, of the selective commercial harvesting of sub-adult males in 1984. These counts have declined rapidly and inexplicably since 1992. The reasons for the population decline are unknown. Entanglement in marine debris, disturbance, pollution, and environmental changes, possibly including a regime shift in the Bering Sea and North Pacific ecosystems, are thought to be contributing factors. Little is known about possible limiting factors in British Columbia and other regions where fur seals forage during their annual migration.; La population qui se reproduit sur les à®les Pribilof, dans la mer de Béring, se nourrit et migre dans les eaux de la Colombie-Britannique. Cette population comptait environ 629 000 individus en 2004. Bien que ce nombre demeure relativement élevé, la population, telle qu'estimée à partir des dénombrements des petits, a diminué de 50 à 60 % sur trois générations (de 1974 à 2004). Le taux de déclin est particulièrement rapide depuis 1998. Les tendances dans les nombres de mà¢les adultes entre 1974 et 2004 sont brouillées par la réaction à la suspension, en 1984, de la prise sélective commerciale des jeunes adultes mà¢les. Ces nombres diminuent de façon rapide et inexplicable depuis 1992. Les raisons du déclin de la population sont inconnues. L'enchevêtrement dans les débris marins, le dérangement, la pollution et les changements environnementaux, incluant possiblement un changement du régime dans les écosystèmes de la mer de Béring et du Pacifique Nord, sont considérés comme des facteurs contributifs. Les facteurs limitatifs possibles sont peu connus en Colombie-Britannique et dans d'autres régions o๠les otaries à fourrure cherchent de la nourriture pendant leur migration annuelle.

Assessment rationale/justification
There is no identifiable threat to the subspecies in the eastern North Pacific (there is no whaling; number of deaths from entanglement in fishing gear and ship strikes is not thought to be high enough to cause concern). There is considerable potential for rescue - mainly from United States waters to the north and south; individuals occurring in inshore waters in Canada could constitute a naturally small population.; Il n'y a pas de menace identifiable envers la sous-espèce dans l'est du Pacifique Nord (il n'y a pas de chasse à la baleine; les mortalités causées par l'enchevêtrement dans les engins de pêche et les collisions avec les navires ne sont pas considérées assez nombreuses pour être préoccupantes). Il y a une possibilité élevée d'immigration de source externe - principalement des eaux des États-Unis au nord et au sud; les individus présents dans les eaux cà´tières du Canada pourraient constituer une petite population naturelle.

Assessment rationale/justification
The species requires sand dune habitat, which may disappear over the short term (10 years). The area of occupancy is only about 53 km² and only 1000 or fewer individuals are alive at the end of most winters. There is strong evidence for local adaptations of the Canadian population and a rescue effect is extremely unlikely because the nearest population in the United States is 270 km away.; L'espèce nécessite un habitat de dunes qui pourrait disparaà®tre à court terme (10 ans). Sa zone d'occupation est d'environ 53 km² seulement, et tout juste 1 000 individus ou moins survivent à la plupart des hivers. La population canadienne présente des signes convaincants d'adaptation locale, et une immigration de source externe est extrêmement peu probable puisque la population la plus près aux États-Unis se trouve à une distance de 270 km.
