Nature's Top Champion!
Forrest Galante is synonymous with the natural world, wilderness survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of nature and animals that set him on his path in life. Galante's deep involvement with nature became deeper when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the 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 amazing 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 adventurer Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills scouring for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be out there. Galante deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, as it combines education with conservation and adventure with nature. It's his dedication to the wild parts of the world we live in that draws us to this amazing person.
