The National Red List Project

Please note, this National Red List website contains a subset of data whilst we transition to national focal point driven data uploads. We thank you for your patience with this and welcome national contributors to get in touch to update their national dataset. Terms of Use including citation guidance are found here.

The previous dataset is available via: https://archive.nationalredlist.org/. This site is no longer updated but can help with most enquiries whilst we focus on redevelopment.

History

The Davis Strait population wa.; La baleine à bec commune a été désignée comme étant non en péril en avril 1993. L'espèce a été divisée en deux populations en avril 1996 afin de permettre une désignation distincte pour la baleine à bec commune (population du plateau néo-écossais). La population du détroit de Davis n'a été réévaluée et a conservé la désignation initiale ' non en péril ' de la baleine à bec commune.
