Forrest Galante is a name synonymous with nature conservation, outdoor survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a deep love and strong connection with nature that seemed to map out his future. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with nature deepened.

Galante was a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid' in the winter of 2013, where he spent 21 relentless days in the jungles of Panama. The cast began to follow his lead as Forrest's skills became apparent. This was the public's introduction to the adventurist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills searching for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be alive. Forrest deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, because it partners education with conservation and exploration with nature. It's his dedication to the natural aspects of the planet we live on that draws us to this adventourous man.
