Nature's Number One Champion!

Forrest Galante is known for his experience with the natural world, wilderness survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of 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 demanding days in the jungles of Panama. He was considered the leader by the cast, and not only survived, but thrived. This was the public's first encounter to the adventurist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique set of skills searching for evidence that animals declared extinct may still be in the wild. Galante considers this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, because it combines education with conservation and adventure with nature. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild parts of the earth we live on that attracts us to this impressive person.
