Biologist and Explorer Forrest is Our Planet's Champion!
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 his early adventures. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife paired with his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he typically seeks to partner with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservation expert, Forrest strives to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
Galante was the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 days in the jungles of Panama. The cast willingly followed his lead as Forrest's skills shone. This was the public's first encounter to the adventurist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills scouring for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Forrest considers this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, because it partners education with conservation and adventure with wildlife. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild aspects of the earth we live on that draws us to this amazing individual.
