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 truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he typically seeks to partner with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservationist, Forrest strives to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or big cats in Thailand.
In the winter of 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid.' He was considered the leader of the group by the cast, and not only survived, but thrived. This was the public's first encounter to the explorer Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique set of skills searching for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be alive. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, because it combines education with conservation and adventure with nature. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural parts of the world we live in that attracts us to this impressive man.
