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

In December 2013, Galante spent 21 demanding 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 naturalist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique skill-set searching for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Galante deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, because it pairs education with conservation and nature with adventure. It's his dedication to the natural parts of the world we live in that attracts us to this impressive individual.
