Dans le domaine social où s’inscrit l'américanisme «affirmative action program», l'équivalent français le plus proche semble bien être «programme de promotion sociale». Si l'on se reporte, dans le Petit Robert, à l'article PROMOTION, on trouve, au sujet de «promotion sociale», les indications suivantes :«Émancipation des classes défavorisées, par leur accession à un niveau de vie supérieur; ensemble des moyens mis en œuvre à cette fin. »C'est donc à juste titre que la note marginale du paragraphe 15(2) de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés comporte cet équivalent :[...] «Programmes de promotion sociale» [...] Il convient par ailleurs, au vu de ce qui précède, d’exclure, au sens d’«affirmative action program», l'expression «programme d’action positive». Elle a, en effet, une signification trop large pour qualifier le programme en question. 4, record 1, French, - programme%20de%20promotion%20sociale

Costa Rica possesses 90 species of palms. Approximately 34 of these species inhabit the Osa Peninsula, which is located in the southwestern part of the country and consists of the last substantial tracts of pacific side wet forests (Corcovado Natl. Park). It is characterized as a tropical lowland moist forest, receiving around 5000 millimeters of rain annually. Just northwest of the peninsula, about 17 kilometers offshore, is Isla del Caño, a 320 hectare island that possesses a uniquely depauperate plant diversity (Janzen 1983). 1, record 5, English, - depauperate%20plant
