Los árboles son organismos longevos que han moldeado los paisajes durante cientos de millones de años. Hoy en día, los bosques cubren aproximadamente el 30 % de la superficie terrestre y proporcionan servicios ambientales, sociales y económicos esenciales. Aunque las perturbaciones cada vez más frecuentes y graves representan desafíos, los bosques pueden mantenerse resilientes. Un enfoque holístico y multiescalar —que integre las dimensiones ecológicas, sociales y de gobernanza desde el ámbito local hasta el global— resulta fundamental para apoyar bosques resilientes al clima y orientar políticas eficaces. En este artículo de opinión, destaco cómo la ciencia multidisciplinaria, combinada con la toma de decisiones inclusiva y basada en la comunidad, puede ayudar a los bosques a resistir eventos extremos y, al mismo tiempo, seguir proporcionando servicios ecosistémicos vitales y respaldando el bienestar humano.
