The Woodland bron (Lopinga achine) is a butterfly species with an estimated remaining population strongly in decline despite its range. The primary threats are habitat loss and degradation due to the drainage of mires and peatlands, which are their specialized habitat. Climate change and changes in land use practices also contribute to the decline of this species.
