Conservationist and Naturalist Forrest is Our Planet's Champion!

At the young age of 14, Galante was the youngest person in history to lead an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of many examples of Galante's early adventures. Galante is an impassioned individual who is driven to inform people about nature and help people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he usually partners with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservation expert, he attempts to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Africa or big cats in Thailand.

Galante was the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 relentless days in the jungles of Panama. The cast swiftly followed 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 top program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set 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, because it combines education with conservation and exploration with nature. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild parts of the world we live in that attracts us to this amazing person.
