The Coolest Naturalist Alive! <br/> <br/>
At age 14, Galante was the youngest person ever to head a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of many examples of Galante's early adventures. Galante is an impassioned individual who is driven to enlighten people about nature and help people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he typically seeks to partner with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservation expert, Forrest attempts to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 relentless days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast smartly followed his lead as Forrest's skills set him apart. This was the public's introduction to the adventurist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set searching for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be in the wild. Galante considers this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, as it pairs conservation with education and wildlife with exploration. It's his dedication to the wild aspects of the world we live in that attracts us to this adventourous individual.
