At the young age of 14, Galante was the youngest person ever to head a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of many examples of his early adventures. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he usually seeks to partner with local groups exploring remote regions. As a conservation expert, he strives to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Africa or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

In the winter of 2013, Galante spent 21 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 first encounter to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills to search for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Forrest deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, as it pairs conservation with education and nature with adventure. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural aspects of the world we live in that attracts us to this amazing man.
