At the young age of 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person in history to head an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of many examples of his early adventures. Galante is a passionate person 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 world-wide as he typically partners with local groups exploring remote regions. As a conservation expert, Forrest attempts to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
Galante was the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's show '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 Forrest's skills became apparent. This was the public's first encounter to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique skill-set to search for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be out there. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, because it combines conservation with education and wildlife with adventure. It's his dedication to the wild parts of the planet we live on that attracts us to this adventourous man.
