Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent describe the wildlife of a region with sourced data, explain conservation status and law, support safe and respectful wildlife observation, and address human-wildlife interactions.
