Meerkovo and their livelihoods.

appointment of an Ambassador, Aleksandr said "I am seeking an exceptional
talented UK human person to act as ambassador for the Meerkats of Meerkovo.

of difference between meerkat and market."

problems facing Meerkovo

25th April 2011 where a final shortlist of candidates will then be announced
and encouraged to campaign for the role. The winner will be decided in May by
a public vote on the village's website www.meerkovo.com
