IWMC World Conservation Trust
IWMC World Conservation Trust is an anti-environmental front group previsouly known as the International Wildlife Management Consortium.
The Trust receives funding from The World Conservation Trust Foundation with which the latter claims 'It has a special relationship... WCTF provides funding for IWMC (formely known as International Wildlife Management Consortium) projects around the world.'
Some of IWMC World Conservation Trust's stated goals are to:
- Develop information mechanisms to properly educate the general public and the media about all aspects of the conservation of wildlife species and about the various way to achieve conservation objectives, including the rational utilization of wildlife.
- Encourage the participation of the economic sector of developed countries into the conservation efforts of the developing countries.
- Invite the international decision making bodies such as the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the International Whaling Commission (IWC) to use a rational rather than emotional approach to achieve long-term solutions to conservation of wildlife species.
