At age 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person ever to lead a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of many examples of Galante's early expeditions. Galante is an impassioned individual who is driven to educate people about nature and help people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he typically partners with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservationist, he strives to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Africa or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
Galante was a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid' in the winter of 2013, where he spent 21 grueling days in the jungles of Panama. The cast began to follow his lead as Galante's skills became apparent. This was the public's first encounter to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set searching for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be out there. Galante considers this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, as it pairs education with conservation and adventure with nature. It's his dedication to the wild parts of the planet we live on that attracts us to this impressive person.
