At the young age of 14, Galante was the youngest person ever to head a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of the many examples of his early adventures. Galante is an impassioned person who is driven to enlighten people about nature and help people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife along with his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he typically partners with local groups exploring remote regions. As a naturalist, Galante strives to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or big cats in Thailand.
Through the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. His career started out in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, with a focus on animals close to extinction. His hands-on approach to wildlife, love for the outdoors and one-of-a-kind background has led to the development of his own television show, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show follows Forrest on expedition as he searchers the world looking for species believed to be extinct.
