Temperate forests in Mexico are often inhabited by humans and as such function as social–ecological systems (SES). As elsewhere in the world, these forests are increasingly under threat from bark beetle pests, outbreaks of which will be exacerbated by climate change. Current strategies for confronting bark beetle infestations are typically more technical and reactive, and technology and science have not yet provided economic and practical solutions. Taking into consideration future climate-change scenarios, forest policy agendas must embrace more holistic strategies focused on improving resistance, resilience, and adaptive capacity of forest SES. Forest landowners are crucial stakeholders worldwide, and when provided with reliable information, training, and incentives, can perform the complex and highly demanding responsibilities of forest monitoring, sanitation logging, and restoration. Participatory sanitation logging in Mexico highlights the opportunities and challenges of dealing with bark beetles, from which lessons can be drawn. A holistic strategy that includes management and public policy recommendations for Mexico and elsewhere is proposed as a potential means of coexisting with this challenge to forest health.

重新思考墨西哥及其他地区与树皮甲虫共存的策略

墨西哥的温带森林经常有人居住，因此具有社会生态系统 (SES) 的功能。与世界其他地方一样，这些森林越来越受到树皮甲虫害虫的威胁，气候变化将加剧这种病虫害的爆发。当前应对树皮甲虫侵扰的策略通常更具技术性和反应性，技术和科学尚未提供经济和实用的解决方案。考虑到未来的气候变化情景，森林政策议程必须采用更全面的战略，重点是提高森林 SES 的抵抗力、恢复力和适应能力。林地所有者是全球重要的利益相关者，如果获得可靠的信息、培训和激励措施，可以执行复杂而高要求的森林监测、卫生采伐和恢复的职责。墨西哥的参与式卫生伐木凸显了处理树皮甲虫的机遇和挑战，从中可以吸取教训。提出了一项包括针对墨西哥和其他地方的管理和公共政策建议的整体战略，作为应对森林健康挑战的潜在手段。
