The Human Resilience Project Launches Rolex Watch & Explorers Club Flag Expedition to Australia and New Zealand
September 18, 2025 at 01:20 AM EDT
WHANGAREI, New Zealand - Sept. 18, 2025 - PRLog -- With Explorers Club flag #12 in hand and the honor of a Rolex watch expedition, Dr. Constance Scharff sets out on the second chapter of The Human Resilience Project, a three-year investigation into how humanity adapts, resists, and thrives in times of upheaval.
This phase takes the team to Victoria, Australia, to learn from Aboriginal peoples, and then to Aotearoa/New Zealand, to engage with the Māori. Both communities are navigating deeply political landscapes tied to treaty negotiations and sovereignty movements. In Australia, resilience is reframed as resistance, centuries of cultural survival now channeled into active assertion of rights and identity. In Aotearoa, Māori leaders are advancing treaty advocacy and cultural renewal, offering a model of resilience rooted in tradition and self-determination.
"For Aboriginal peoples and the Māori, resilience is not just about weathering adversity, it's about resistance and renewal," said Dr. Scharff. "By listening to their stories, we gain global insight into how humanity endures with dignity and strength."
For more than two decades, Dr. Scharff, a member of The Explorers Club, has shared time with communities in more than 40 countries, some of them in isolated parts of the planet. As principal investigator of The Human Resilience Project, she leads an all-woman team to document how Indigenous knowledge, cultural continuity, and political struggle intersect to create pathways of endurance.
On this expedition, the team will engage with community leaders, traditional healers, and cultural practitioners. Their goal: to uncover strategies of survival and resistance that not only strengthen local communities but also offer universal lessons in psychological resilience and cultural adaptation.
Carrying dual honors as both an Explorers Club flag and a Rolex watch expedition, The Human Resilience Project is recognized as a mission of exceptional scientific and historic importance.
This research initiative is affiliated with the California Institute for Human Science.
