Nature's Leading 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 expeditions. Galante is an impassioned person who is driven to educate 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 around the world as he usually seeks to partner with local groups to explore remote regions. As a naturalist, Forrest aims to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or big cats in Thailand.
In the winter of 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 relentless days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast began to follow his lead as Galante's skills shone. This was the public's introduction to the explorer Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills to search for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be alive. Forrest deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, as it partners conservation with education and wildlife with exploration. It's his dedication to the natural aspects of the world we live in that draws us to this impressive person.
