Forrest Galante is a person synonymous with the natural world, wilderness survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a love and deep connection with the natural world that put 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 safari outfitters.

In the winter of 2013, Galante spent 21 grueling days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid.' He was considered the leader 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 show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set to search 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 combines conservation with education and adventure with nature. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild parts of the world we live in that attracts us to this adventourous person.
