Supported by transdisciplinary analysis and aimed at supporting an actual regulation in the Aran (~600 km2 in the Spanish Pyrenees), our case study focuses on creating a management path toward landscape resilience at the social and ecological level. Results: We present a novel approach for fre management in Europe, where fre is no longer treated as an isolated, unpredicted, and unwanted element but where the fre regime (considering both wildfres and prescribed burns) is managed as a whole and under changing conditions. Under this approach, some unplanned ignitions represent a window of opportunity where emergency responders can turn wildfre incidents into land management goals. This way, the present framework helps to reduce uncertainty by proactively anticipating plausible future scenarios. In addition, the subjacent strategic innovation dissolves the trap linked to fully aggressive fre suppression strategies, proposing a transformative role for emergency management organizations to overcome the burden of extinction everywhere, every time. Conclusions: This work highlights the importance of understanding fre complexity through transdisciplinary knowledge, acknowledging its historical signifcance for rural populations, and recognizing fre as a cultural heritage and essential ecological process that shapes the landscape. The study expects to serve as a catalyst for fre resilience in the region and inspire other mountainous areas to address similar challenges posed by global change.MCIN/AEI partly supported the elaboration of this work through the project RESFIRE PID2023152690OBC21.Peer Reviewed20252025-02-1420252025-02-19journal articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://hdl.handle.net/2117/424633https://dx.doi.org/10.1186/s42408-024-00348-xreponame:UPCommons.
