Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, outdoor survival and animal expertise. He grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, which instilled a life-long love of the natural world that put him on his path in life. Galante's deep relationship with nature strengthened when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their farm and safari outfitters.
In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 demanding 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 became apparent. This was the public's introduction to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's top program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills searching for evidence that animals declared extinct may still be in the wild. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, because it pairs education with conservation and adventure with nature. It's his dedication to the natural parts of the earth we live on that attracts us to this impressive individual.
