At 14, Galante was the youngest person in history to head a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of many examples of Galante's early expeditions. Galante is an impassioned individual who is driven to enlighten people about nature and help people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he usually partners with local groups exploring remote regions. As a naturalist, Galante aims to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
In December 2013, 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 Forrest's skills shone. 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 scouring for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be alive. Forrest considers this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, because it partners education with conservation and wildlife with adventure. It's his dedication to the wild aspects of the world we live in that draws us to this impressive man.
