International whaling convention needs boosting, not dismantling

by Philippa Kaur 3 September 2024, 00:00 149 Views

Peter Bridgewater et al. call for the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to be dismantled because it has “so little to show” since the moratorium on commercial whaling began in 1985 (P. Bridgewater et al. Nature 632, 500–502; 2024). I have attended numerous IWC meetings as both a governmental delegate and an observer. The authors are wrong.
