[The] recent, current or projected future decline (which may be smooth, irregular or sporadic) [of a species], that is liable to continue unless remedial measures are taken.

OBS

DEF

Déclin récent, en cours ou projeté pour l'avenir (soit régulier, irrégulier ou sporadique) [d'une espèce], qui peut se poursuivre à moins que des mesures correctives ne soient prises.
