At the young age of 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person in history to lead a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of many examples of Galante's early expeditions. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife in conjunction with his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he typically partners with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservation expert, Forrest aims to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for whale sharks in Australia or big cats in Thailand.
Through the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with several species of sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a charging water buffalo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, always focusing on animals on the edge of extinction. His hands-on approach to wildlife, passion for the outdoors and extraordinary background has led to the development of his own television show, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show shadows Galante on expedition as he searchers the earth searching for species believed to be extinct.
