Justification
Parmelia hyperopta is a widespread and often abundant species across many countries and does not meet any of the criteria for threat levels; it is, therefore, listed as Least Concern.Geographic range
Parmeliopsis hyperopta is a circumboreal lichen widespread in the northern hemisphere across many countries in North America and Europe, and is also found in the boreal zone of the southern hemisphere in South America (Chile and Argentina) and Australia (Tasmania).Population and Trends
This species is widespread and abundant across high latitudes and on mountains at lower latitudes, and the population is inferred to be stable.
