Translation of "Locally extinct species " (English → French) :

C. Whereas the bushmeat crisis particularly affects large mammals, including the African Great Apes (Gorilla, Chimpanzee, Bonobo) and might, in the very near future, result in extinction of a range of species locally, regionally or nationally,

Many species have already been driven to extinction locally or regionally, and other wildlife has disappeared even in many protected areas.

With reference to infectious salmon anemia (ISA) and its possible effect on salmon and other marine life on Canada's east and west coasts: (a) where on the east coast has the disease been found amongst farmed Atlantic salmon, how many pens have reported the disease, how many farms, and how many bays; (b) what action has been taken by aquaculture operators to control the disease on the east coast, how many farmed Atlantic salmon have been slaughtered, and what was their value; (c) what chemicals, antibiotics or other medicines have the aquaculture operators on the east coast used to prevent or control the disease, and which of these products have been approved for use in the marine environment; (d) what is the effect on wild salmon, shell ...[+++]fish and other marine life of the chemicals, antibiotics or other medicines used by aquaculture operators to prevent or control the disease; (e) is it possible that local wild species of salmon and other marine life on the east coast have been affected by the strain of the disease found amongst farmed salmon, if so which species of wild salmon and other marine life are most susceptible to the disease, and which of these species would be most threatened by the disease; (f) what is the responsibility of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in regard to this strain of the disease, more particularly what responsibility does the department by statute have in dealing with this disease when found in sea-base aquaculture operations; (g) what responsibility does the Department of Fisheries and Oceans have to prevent the possible transmission of this strain of disease from aquaculutre operations on the east coast to local wild fish stocks; (h) what action has the Department of Fisheries and Oceans taken to ensure that this strain of the disease is not transmitted to wild fish stocks on the east coast; (i) has the Department of Fisheries and Oceans succeeded in preventing the transmission of this strain of the disease to wild stocks o ...

Potential impacts include changes in the distribution and levels of insect populations and diseases; changes or reductions in growth and yield; species shifting, which may cause local extinction or extinctions of rare species; increases in invasive and exotic species due to changes in minimum temperatures; and survival of egg masses that would otherwise be killed by frost.

Invasive species contribute to the issue of " species at risk" - those species that are at risk of disappearing locally and possibly even becoming extinct.
