The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) is one of the largest animal welfare and conservation charities in the world. The organization works to rescue individual animals, safeguard populations, preserve habitat, and advocate for greater protections.[1] Brian Davies founded IFAW.[2] IFAW was instrumental in ending the commercial seal hunt in Canada.[citation needed] In 1983 Europe banned all whitecoat harp seals products. This ban helped save over 1 million seals. IFAW operates in over 40 countries.[3]
