From the hills of Rwampara in western Uganda comes Laki, a dedicated professional now stationed far from home, guarding the vast, uncharted expanses of the ocean floor.
Appointed to the International Seabed Authority (ISA), Laki contributes to regulating activities in international waters beyond any nation’s jurisdiction. The ISA, though little-known to the public, holds immense power over deep-sea mining and resource exploration.
His journey underscores how individuals from Uganda are making waves in global environmental governance, ensuring sustainable use of seabed resources for future generations.
