Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, wilderness survival and wildlife expertise. He grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, which instilled a deep love and strong connection with nature that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep love 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 the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 days in the jungles of Panama. He was considered the leader of the group 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 hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique skill-set searching for evidence that animals declared extinct may still be out there. Forrest deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, as it pairs conservation with education and wildlife with exploration. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild aspects of the world we live in that draws us to this impressive individual.
