Assessment rationale/justification
The grizzly bear's habitat is at risk from expanding industrial, residential and recreational developments. Habitat and population fragmentation are underway in the southern part of the bear's distribution. The life history characteristics of this bear make it particularly sensitive to human-caused mortality (including hunting, poaching, accidents and nuisance kills). Its behavior frequently brings it into conflict with people, leading to increased mortality where human activities expand. It has disappeared from a substantial part of its historic range, but there are still over 26,000 grizzly bears in Canada. The grizzly bear's area of occupancy has not decreased substantially over the past 20 years. The future of several populations that are either completely or mostly isolated is highly uncertain and dependent on conservation.; L'habitat de l'ours grizzli est en péril en raison des aménagements industriels, domiciliaires et récréatifs croissants. La fragmentation de l'habitat et de la population est en cours dans le sud de l'aire de répartition de l'ours. Les caractéristiques du cycle biologique de cet ours le rendent particulièrement vulnérable à la mortalité causée par les humains (dont la chasse, le braconnage, les accidents et les prises d'ours nuisibles). Son comportement le met souvent en conflit avec les personnes, ce qui entraà®ne un taux de mortalité accru lorsque les activités anthropiques s'étendent. L'espèce a disparu d'une partie importante de son aire de répartition historique, mais il y a encore plus de 26 000 ours grizzlis au Canada. La zone occupée par l'ours grizzli n'a pas diminué de manière importante au cours des 20 dernières années. L'avenir de plusieurs populations qui sont complètement ou grandement isolées est très incertain et dépend de la conservation.

Assessment rationale/justification
This population totals about 130 individuals and appears to be currently stable. Oil and gas development in and around the prime habitat of this population poses the greatest threat and will likely reduce the quality of their habitat. However, there is little information as to how this species is, or is not, affected by oil and gas development activities.; Cette population compte environ 130 individus et semble stable à l'heure actuelle. Les exploitations pétrolières et gazières à l'intérieur et autour de l'habitat principal de cette population représentent les plus grandes menaces et réduiront probablement la qualité de l'habitat. Cependant, il existe peu de renseignements sur la façon dont l'espèce est touchée ou non par les activités de l'exploitation pétrolière et gazière.

The Northern Bottlenose Whale was given a single designation of Not at Risk in April 1993. Split into two populations in April 1996 to allow a separate designation of the Northern Bottlenose Whale (Scotian Shelf population). Scotian Shelf population desig.; 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 plateau néo-écossais a été désignée préoccupante en avril 1996. Réexamen du statut : l'espèce a été désignée ' en voie de disparition ' en novembre 2002.

L'abondance de leur proie principale, le saumon, a aussi connu un déclin.
