Forrest Galante is known for his experience with the natural world, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a love and deep connection with the natural world that seemed to map out his future. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with the outdoors continued.
Galante was the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 days in the jungles of Panama. He was considered the leader of the group by the cast, and not only survived, but thrived. This was the public's first encounter to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills searching for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be out there. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, because it pairs conservation with education and exploration with wildlife. It's his dedication to the natural aspects of the planet we live on that attracts us to this impressive person.
