To the Editor — The Russian invasion of  Ukraine is first and foremost a human tragedy. This crisis has also abruptly changed the geopolitical landscape and views on globalization as a pathway to increased wealth and security. War has always compromised incentives for collaboration1, and in the case of Ukraine it could jeopardize hard-won gains in efforts to combat global climate change and biodiversity decline. We argue that rash changes to land-use policy currently being made in Europe in response to the invasion are ill-advised, and we call for the establishment of an independent European Biodiversity Council to help to safeguard biodiversity in the region.
