The Sudeten Ringlet Butterfly (Erebia sudetica) is a rare butterfly species native to the Sudeten Mountains in Central Europe. The population of Sudeten Ringlet has declined due to habitat loss, degradation, and climate change impacts on alpine ecosystems. The estimated remaining population is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the hundreds. Conservation efforts focus on habitat restoration, monitoring populations, and raising awareness about its conservation needs.
