Forrest Galante is synonymous with nature conservation, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a love and deep connection with the natural world 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 became stronger.
In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 amazing days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast swiftly followed his lead as Galante's skills set him apart. This was the public's first encounter to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique set of skills searching for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be out there. Forrest considers this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, as it partners conservation with education and wildlife with adventure. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural parts of the earth we live on that draws us to this adventourous individual.
