At the young age of 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person in history to head a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of many examples of his early adventures. Galante is an impassioned person 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 around the world as he usually seeks to partner with local groups exploring remote regions. As a naturalist, Galante attempts to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Africa or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

Galante was a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid' in the winter of 2013, where he spent 21 days in the jungles of Panama. The cast quickly followed his lead as Forrest's skills set him apart. This was the public's first encounter 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 scouring for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Forrest considers this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, as it pairs education with conservation and wildlife with exploration. It's his dedication to the natural parts of the world we live in that draws us to this adventourous man.
