Aboriginal whaling

Aboriginal whaling or indigenous whaling is the hunting of whales by indigenous peoples recognised by either IWC (International Whaling Commission) or the country. It is permitted under international regulation, but in some countries remains a contentious issue. In some places, whaling has been superseded by whale watching instead. This article deals with communities that continue to hunt; details about communities that have ended the practice may be found in History of whaling.Summarize the following text using ONLY facts from it.

The IWC says that:Since its inception, the IWC has recognised that indigenous or 'aboriginal subsistence' Whaling is of a different nature to commercial whaling and is thus not subject to the moratorium. For aboriginal subsistence whaling the objectives are to ensure that risks of extinction are not seriously increased by whaling;enable native people to hunt whales at level appropriate to satisfy their cultural, subsistence and nutritional requirements (also called 'need'); andmove populations towards and then maintain them at healthy levels.
