Forrest Galante is a person synonymous with the natural world, wilderness survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of the natural world that put him on his path in life. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with nature became stronger.

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 of the group by the cast, and not only survived, but thrived. This was the public's introduction to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique skill-set searching for evidence that animals declared extinct may still be alive. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, as it pairs conservation with education and adventure with wildlife. It's his dedication to the wild parts of the world we live in that draws us to this incredible man.
