The summit is held in the province of Alberta in western Canada – in an area rich in grizzly bears.
Even if the grizzly bears are the biggest concern, the team is prepared for all kinds of wild animals, says Sheena Campbell, spokesperson for the security authority in Alberta.
Nothing is left to chance. Electric fences, specially trained dogs and heat cameras are used at the lodge in Kananaskis in the fight against the bears. In addition, drones monitor the area. During the last week, when the summit has been fully prepared, activity from both grizzly bears and black bears and pumas has been registered, according to Campbell.
According to the news site The Globe and Mail, there are approximately 65 grizzly bears in Kananaskis. Some areas have recently been closed after reports of an aggressive female with two cubs.
In the great power club G7, the following countries are included: France, Italy, Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and the USA.
