Data Center Pushback: Boise Mayor Lauren McLean is seeking a six-month moratorium on mega data centers, with a City Council hearing set for Nov. 10. She cites heavy demands on water, power and land, plus pollution, heat and noise. Separately, Interior Secretary Doug Burgum is promoting data centers on public lands while holding investments worth an estimated $18.1 million to $64.4 million in AI companies. Wolf Killings: Idaho paid three hunters $24,000 to kill 12 newborn wolf pups in the northern Panhandle this spring. Conservationists say at least one litter may have been killed near its den. Grizzly Deaths: More than 80 grizzlies have died in the Greater Yellowstone region this year, the third straight year of record deaths; at least 50 were human-caused. Conservation groups warn against easing federal protections. Winter Water Outlook: El Niño points toward a warmer, potentially drier winter in Idaho, which could mean less mountain snowpack and less water for communities and farms next year. Huckleberry Habitat: Researchers used collared grizzlies to locate productive huckleberry patches in the Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak ranges, helping map important feeding grounds.
