Checkerspot (magazine)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Checkerspot magazine is a biannual lifestyle magazine on climate change in Canada published by the Canadian Wildlife Federation. A free magazine, its inaugural issue is set to be launched May 2007.
For the past four and a half decades, the Canadian Wildlife Federation has worked to protect Canada's wild species and spaces. Over the past few years, as it became clear that climate change presents a serious threat to wildlife not only in our country, but worldwide, we knew we had to do something to inspire the Canadian public to act.
We are launching Checkerspot — named after a butterfly whose southern North American ranges are shifting as its habitat warms and dries — because we believe the answer to this newest and greatest threat to wildlife lies in your hands. We think Canadians are ready to move forward, to take action toward mitigating and adapting to climate change, and we hope that this publication will help drive discussion about how we can learn to live responsibly in a climate-changing world.
At the Canadian Wildlife Federation, we subscribe to the notion that the solution starts with you. After all, conservation is not a spectator sport.
