Checkerspot was a biannual climate change magazine in Canada published by the Canadian Wildlife Federation. A free magazine, its inaugural issue was launched May 2007; it ceased production in 2009 due to the economic downturn of that year.
Checkerspot claimed to be a climate neutral publication. The magazine was named after a butterfly whose ranges were believed to be shifting as a result of global warming.
