Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. He grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, which instilled a love and deep connection with the natural world that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep involvement with nature continued when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced his family from their farm and safari operations.
Galante was a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 amazing 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 hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique set of skills to search for evidence that animals declared extinct may still be alive. Forrest deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, as it pairs conservation with education and exploration with wildlife. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural aspects of the earth we live on that attracts us to this amazing person.
