Urokus, also known as Urokus Island, is a small, uninhabited island located in the Pacific Ocean, approximately 200 kilometers north of the island of Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. The island is part of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville and is known for its rich biodiversity and unique geological features.

Urokus Island is characterized by its steep cliffs, dense vegetation, and diverse wildlife. The island is home to a variety of bird species, including the Bougainville hawk-owl and the Bougainville fruit dove.

The island's unique geological features include its steep cliffs and the presence of a large caldera, which is a large, circular depression formed by the collapse of a volcano. The caldera is approximately 2 kilometers in diameter and is surrounded by steep cliffs that rise to a height of over 100 meters.

In recent years, there has been growing interest in the potential for tourism on Urokus Island. The island's unique features and rich biodiversity make it an attractive destination for ecotourism, and there are plans to develop sustainable tourism infrastructure on the island. However, the potential for tourism also raises concerns about the impact of tourism on the island's environment and local culture, and efforts are being made to ensure that any tourism development is sustainable and respectful of the island's unique features and cultural significance.
