Assessment rationale/justification
Despite virtual extermination by 1860, protection of elephant seals and their breeding sites in the United States and Mexico has allowed them to make a remarkable recovery. They are now common enough to not be considered at risk.; Bien qu'ils aient été pratiquement exterminés avant 1860, la protection dont bénéficient les éléphants de mer et leurs sites de reproduction aux États-Unis et au Mexique leur a permis d'effectuer un rétablissement remarquable. Ils sont maintenant assez communs pour qu'on considère qu'ils ne sont pas en péril.

Assessment rationale/justification
The species has a circumpolar Arctic distribution. No complete, reliable or recent estimates of total abundance and spatial distribution in Canada are available, nor is any reliable information available on population trends. The species remains widespread in areas of broken pack ice. It is known to be highly dependent on sea ice as a platform used to haul out to rest, moult, give birth and nurse pups. However, the information available on climate and sea ice changes and how such changes might affect the species is insufficient to support an evaluation of their potential as a population-level threat to the species.; Cette espèce a une aire de répartition circumpolaire arctique. On ne dispose d'aucune estimation complète, fiable ou récente de l'abondance totale et de la répartition spatiale de l'espèce au Canada, ni d'information fiable sur les tendances démographiques. L'espèce demeure répandue dans les zones de banquise fragmentée. Elle est fortement dépendante de la présence de glace marine, utilisant celle-ci comme plateforme pour se reposer, muer, mettre bas et nourrir ses petits. Cependant, on ne dispose pas de suffisamment d'information sur les changements climatiques et des glaces marines, et sur la manière dont ces changements pourraient toucher l'espèce, pour appuyer une évaluation sur le risque de menace à  l'échelle de la population.
