At age 14, Galante was the youngest person in history to lead a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of many examples of his early adventures. Galante is a passionate individual who is driven to educate people about nature and help people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he typically partners with local groups exploring remote regions. As a conservation expert, Forrest attempts to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 relentless days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast began to follow his lead as Galante's skills set him apart. This was the public's introduction to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills scouring for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Forrest deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, as it pairs 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 amazing individual.
