This population has a very small number of mature individuals (~120). It is subject to threats from high level of contaminants, acoustical and physical disturbance, and potential oil spills. However, the population is monitored and appears to be stable.; Cette population compte un très faible nombre d'individus matures (~120). Elle est sujette aux menaces posées par un taux élevé de contaminants, des perturbations acoustiques et physiques et des déversements d'hydrocarbures potentiels.

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.

Criteria system used

(see Assessment details)
Assessment rationale/justification
Fewer than 30 mature wild-born individuals of this Canadian endemic remain in the wild. Despite the apparent initial success of reintroductions, the wild population of this species remains extremely small and could be subject to stochastic events. Ongoing predation remains high and there are potential threats from inbreeding and climate change.; De cette espèce endémique au Canada, il ne reste à l'état sauvage que moins de 30 individus matures nés dans la nature. Malgré l'apparente réussite initiale des réintroductions, la population sauvage de cette espèce demeure extrêmement petite et pourrait être l'objet d'événements stochastiques. La prédation demeure élevée, et la consanguinité et les changements climatiques constituent des menaces potentielles.
