  2. Purview

    Izele is designed for three groups: organisations dedicated to the conservation of biodiversity, people who are interested in nature and conserving biodiversity, and companies that sell goods and services of potential interest to these organisations and individuals. This means Izele pages should only focus on issues relating to biodiversity conservation.

This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account unless your content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it.
