SPECS is a non profit, non governmental association founded in 1987 whose aim is the study and conservation of Cacti and Succulents, focusing native (and indeed unknown) species. Our founder and now President, Dr. Carlos Ostolaza, edits a yearly journal, called Quepo (name of glochid in Quecha language), with more than 100 pages, very well illustrated, in color and B/W, featuring taxonomy, culture, field trips, research, art, philately and even poetry and ethnobotany, related to cacti and succulents. Our members meet monthly and we have lectures, slide projections, field trips and eventually, we make courses with overseas quests and the cooperation of local universities.
We have, for sale, the following issues of Quepo:
Vol.8,1994; Vol.9,1995; Vol.10,1996; Vol 11, 1997, Vol 12, 1998, Vol 13, 1999, Vol 14, 2000, Vol 15, 2001. Vol 16, 2002, Vol 17, 2003, Vol 18, 2004, Vol 19, 2005, Vol 20, 2006, Vol 21, 2007. Vol 22, 2008, Vol 23, 2009, Vol 24, 2010 and Vol 25, 2011.
