IWC (International Whaling Commission)

The whaling-commission">International Whaling Commission (IWC) is an international organization established in 1946 to regulate whaling and ensure the conservation of whale populations. Its main goals are to promote sustainable whaling practices, protect endangered whale species, and safeguard the marine environment. The IWC sets quotas for whale hunting and works with member countries to establish policies regarding whaling. While some countries advocate for a complete ban on whaling, others support limited hunting for cultural or economic reasons. The IWC plays a crucial role in balancing these interests while striving to protect whale species worldwide.
