Assessment rationale/justification
The black bear has undergone some loss in its historic range but still occurs in large numbers over a very large range. The habitat is generally secure and there is no clear indication of overall population decline.; L'ours noir a subi certaines pertes dans son aire de répartition historique, mais on le trouve encore en grand nombre dans une très grande aire de répartition. L'habitat est généralement sà»r et il n'y a aucune indication claire de déclin généralisé de la population.

Localized and distributed across the arid grasslands of southern Alberta and southwestern Saskatchewan.

Assessment rationale/justification
They appear to be particularly sensitive to human activities, and are prone to becoming entrapped and killed in fishing nets. They are a short lived shy species that are now rarely seen at the highly developed areas of Victoria and Haro Strait. Continued development and use of its prime habitat by humans are some of the main threats. They are displaced by underwater noise, and could be affected by contaminants in their food chain.; Cette espèce semble particulièrement vulnérable aux activités de l'être humain, et a tendance à  s'enchevêtrer dans des engins de pêche et à  mourir. Il s'agit d'une espèce timide dont la durée de vie est courte, qui est maintenant rarement observée dans les régions grandement aménagées de Victoria et du détroit de Haro. L'aménagement continu et l'utilisation de l'habitat principal de cette espèce par les humains constituent certaines des principales menaces. Les bruits sous-marins font fuir les marsouins, et ces derniers pourraient être touchés par les contaminants présents dans leur chaà®ne alimentaire.

Assessment rationale/justification
This subspecies has a limited range and has been found at only one location in the past 40 years; this location is isolated from others. Dispersal distance is limited and the population fluctuates. This species is commonly found in owl pellets in the USA, but none have been reported in owl pellets (including burrowing owls) in Suffield or other areas in southeast Alberta, despite substantial sampling. Owl pellet analysis is an excellent means of sampling for these mice.; Cette sous-espèce a une aire de répartition limitée et a été observée à  un seul emplacement dans les 40 dernières années; cet emplacement est isolé des autres emplacements. La distance de dispersion est limitée et la taille de la population fluctue. Cette sous-espèce est fréquemment trouvée dans les boulettes de régurgitation des strigidés aux États-Unis, mais n'a pas été rapportée dans celles des strigidés (y compris les Chevêches des terriers) à  Suffield, ou à  d'autres endroits dans le sud-est de l'Alberta, malgré le nombre important d'échantillons. L'analyse des boulettes de régurgitation des strigidés est un excellent moyen d'échantillonnage de cette souris.

Assessment rationale/justification
Sperm whales range widely through the world's oceans and males are found off both coasts of Canada. The worldwide population is reasonably large despite historical large reductions by commercial whaling. Whaling for this species was discontinued in 1972 in Canada.; Le cachalot macrocéphale est vastement répandu dans les océans de la planète, et on rencontre des mà¢les au large des deux cà´tes du Canada. La population mondiale compte un nombre raisonnable d'individus, malgré les diminutions historiques considérables causées par la chasse commerciale. La chasse à  cette espèce a été suspendue au Canada en 1972.

The population frequenting Canadian waters was reduced earlier in the century by drive fisheries and recovery may be slow due to incidental entrapments, pollutants and depletion of prey species; however, there are no immediate threats to the population.; La pêche par rabattage a fait diminuer la taille de la population qui fréquente les eaux canadiennes au début du siècle et il se peut que les captures accidentelles, les polluants et la disparition des espèces proies ralentissent son rétablissement; cependant, rien ne menace cette population dans l'immédiat.
