🐺 Rewilding & Trophic Cascade: Top-Down Valley Model (2D)

A 2D top-down river-valley trophic-cascade model: reintroduce wolves, watch elk avoid the exposed river corridor, riparian willow regrow, and the riverbank stabilise over simulated years — the mechanic behind Yellowstone's 1995 wolf reintroduction.
