Assessment rationale/justification
This population of caribou is endemic to Canada. Once thought to be extinct, numbers have recovered to perhaps a quarter of the population historic size. They have not been censused since 1997 and are subject to a high rate of harvest, whose sustainability is questioned by some. They migrate between the mainland and Victoria Island and climate warming or increased shipping may make the ice crossing more dangerous. The population, however, increased substantially over the last three generations and was estimated at about 28000 in 1997.; Cette population de caribou est endémique au Canada. Le nombre d'individus de l'espèce, auparavant considérée comme disparue, s'est rétabli à  environ le quart de la population historique. Cette population n'a pas été recensée depuis 1997, elle fait l'objet d'un taux élevé de prises dont la durabilité est remise en question par certains. L'espèce migre entre le continent et l'à®le Victoria, et le réchauffement climatique ou le trafic maritime accru peut rendre la traversée sur les glaces plus dangereuse. Cependant, cette population a considérablement augmenté au cours des trois dernières générations et, en 1997, elle a été estimée à  environ 28 000 individus.

History
The original designation considered a single unit that included Peary Caribou, Rangifer tarandus pearyi, and what is now known as the Dolphin and Union population of the Barren-ground Caribou, Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus. It was assigned a status of T; La désignation initiale considérée comme une seule unité comprenait le caribou de Peary, Rangifer tarandus pearyi, et le caribou de la toundra (population Dolphin-et-Union), Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus. Cette unité a été désignée ' menacée ' en avril 1979. Division en 1991 pour permettre la désignation de trois populations distinctes : population de l'à®le Banks (en voie de disparition), population du Haut-Arctique (en voie de disparition) et population du Bas-Arctique (menacée). En mai 2004, les trois désignations de population ont été désactivées, et le caribou de Peary a été évalué séparément du caribou de la toundra (population Dolphin-et-Union), Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus. La population Dolphin-et-Union est composée d'une partie de l'ancienne ' population du Bas-Arctique ' et elle a été désignée ' préoccupante ' en mai 2004.

Assessment rationale/justification
There are currently about 700 mature bison of this subspecies in three free-ranging herds and about 250 semi-captive mature bison in Elk Island National Park. The largest free-ranging herd, in the Pink Mountain area of BC, is outside the historical range of this subspecies. The population in Prince Albert National Park is increasing by about 10% a year. The greatest problem facing these bison in Canada is the lack of habitat, due to conversion to agriculture and urbanization. Additional threats include domestic cattle disease and the risk of genetic pollution from escaped ranched bison, including some that may carry cattle genes. The total number of free-ranging and semi-captive mature bison of this subspecies is just under 1000, and there are fewer than 5 populations.; Il y a actuellement environ 700 bisons matures de cette sous-espèce dans trois hardes en liberté et environ 250 bisons adultes en semi captivité dans le parc national Elk Island. La plus grande harde en liberté, dans la région du mont Pink de la Colombie-Britannique, se trouve à  l'extérieur de l'aire de répartition historique de cette sous espèce. La population dans le parc national Prince Albert augmente d'environ 10 p. 100 par an. Le plus grave problème de ces bisons au Canada est le manque d'habitat attribuable à  la conversion des terres à  des fins d'agriculture et d'urbanisation. Les menaces additionnelles comprennent les maladies des bovins d'élevage et le risque de pollution génétique des bisons d'élevage qui se sont échappés, y compris certains bisons qui peuvent être porteurs de gènes de bovin. Le nombre total de bisons matures de cette sous-espèce en liberté et en semi-captivité atteint un peu moins de 1 000 individus, et il y a moins de cinq populations.

Although there have not been sightings of this species in the last 50 years in Canadian waters, there have been sightings both south and north of British Columbia waters. Therefore it is not appropriate to classify the species as extirpated. The total population in the eastern North Pacific likely numbers a few tens of animals.; Bien que cette espèce n'ait pas été observée au cours des 50 dernières années dans les eaux canadiennes, elle a été observée au sud et au nord des eaux de la Colombie-Britannique. Il n'est donc pas approprié de désigner cette espèce come étant disparue. Le total des individus de la population de l'est du Pacifique Nord s'établirait à  quelques dizaines de baleines.

The species, found only in the North Atlantic, was heavily reduced by whaling. The total population currently numbers about 322 animals (about 220-240 mature animals), has been decreasing during the last decade, and is experiencing high mortality from ship strikes and entanglement in fishing gear. A sophisticated demographic model gives an estimated mean time to extinction of 208 years.; Cette espèce, qui n'habite que l'Atlantique Nord, a été grandement réduite par la pêche à  la baleine. La population totale compte actuellement 322 baleines (environ 220 à  240 animaux adultes), elle a diminué au cours de la dernière décennie et connaà®t une mortalité élevée attribuable aux collisions avec des navires et à  l'enchevêtrement dans des engins de pêche. Un modèle démographique perfectionné prévoit à  208 ans le délai moyen de sa disparition de la planète.

Assessment rationale/justification
This was one of the most abundant species sought by whalers off the British Columbia coast (with over 4000 individuals killed) and was also commonly taken in other areas of the eastern North Pacific. Sei whales have not been reported in British Columbia since whaling ended and may now be gone. There are few, if any, mature individuals remaining in British Columbia waters; and there is clear evidence of a dramatic decline caused by whaling and no sign of recovery.; Il s'agissait de l'une des espèces les plus abondantes recherchées par les pêcheurs de baleines au large de la cà´te de la Colombie-Britannique (avec plus de 4 000 individus abattus), et elle était aussi souvent prise dans d'autres zones de l'Est du Pacifique Nord. Des rorquals boréaux n'ont pas été signalés en Colombie-Britannique depuis la fin de la pêche à  la baleine. Il y a, s'il en reste, peu d'individus matures dans les eaux de la Colombie-Britannique, et il y a des preuves manifestes d'un important déclin causé par la pêche à  la baleine et aucun signe de rétablissement.

Assessment rationale/justification
Blue whales off the coast of British Columbia are likely part of a population based in the northeastern Pacific. The population was reduced by whaling. The rarity of sightings (visual and acoustic) suggests their numbers are currently very low (significantly less than 250 mature individuals). Threats for blue whales along the coast of British Columbia are unknown, but may include ship strikes, pollution, entanglement in fishing gear, and long-term changes in climate (which could affect the abundance of their zooplankton prey).; Les rorquals bleus au large de la cà´te de la Colombie-Britannique font probablement partie d'une population établie dans la partie septentrionale du Nord-Est de l'océan Pacifique. Leur population a été réduite en raison de la chasse à  la baleine. La rareté des observations (visuelles et acoustiques) semble indiquer que leur nombre est actuellement très faible (beaucoup moins que 250 individus matures). Les menaces qui pèsent sur les rorquals bleus le long de la cà´te de la Colombie-Britannique sont inconnues, mais elles peuvent inclure les collisions avec des navires, la pollution, l'enchevêtrement dans des engins de pêche et les changements climatiques à  long terme (qui pourraient avoir une incidence sur l'abondance de leur proie, le zooplancton).
