Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, wilderness survival and wildlife expertise. During his youth living in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest developed a deep love and strong connection with nature and animals that put him on his path in life. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with the outdoors deepened.

In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 grueling days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's program '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 adventurist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set scouring for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be alive. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, because it pairs education with conservation and exploration with nature. It's his dedication to the wild aspects of the planet we live on that attracts us to this impressive person.
