The Idalia Recovery Organisation of Students (iROOS) is a student-driven not-for-profit organisation, founded in 2007 through the initiative of Professor Gimme Walter and likeminded environmental science students. Inspiration came in the field, from BIOL3106: Outback Ecology, a fieldwork orientated course based at Idalia National Park (Idalia NP) in central Queensland.

 

The iROOS was developed with a multifaceted directive; to provide a platform for students to assist in the conservation and environmental management of Queensland's national parks and reserves, whilst simultaneously creating valuable work experience and networking opportunities to promote student employability.

​

We now work in conjunction with numerous independent and not-for-profit organisations on various environmental initiatives.
