Forrest Galante is synonymous with the natural world, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. He grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, which instilled a love and deep connection with nature that seemed to map out his future. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with the outdoors became stronger.
In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 grueling days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast began to follow his lead as Galante's skills shone. This was the public's introduction to the adventurist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set scouring for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be in the wild. Forrest deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, as it combines education with conservation and adventure with wildlife. It's his dedication to the natural aspects of the earth we live on that draws us to this amazing person.
