At age 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person in history to lead an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of the many examples of his 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 seeks to partner with local groups exploring 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 Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 demanding days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid.' He was considered the leader by the cast, and not only survived, but thrived. 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 uses his unique set of skills scouring for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, as it combines conservation with education and nature with exploration. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural aspects of the world we live in that draws us to this incredible person.
