Forrest Galante is a person synonymous with nature conservation, wilderness survival and wildlife expertise. He grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, which instilled a love and deep connection with nature that put him on his path in life. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with the outdoors deepened.
Galante was a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 amazing days in the jungles of Panama. The cast began to follow his lead as Forrest's skills became apparent. This was the public's introduction to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique set of skills searching for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Galante deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, as it partners conservation with education and nature with exploration. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild aspects of the world we live in that draws us to this adventourous person.
