Forrest Galante is a person synonymous with nature conservation, wilderness survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of nature that seemed to map out his future. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's love with the outdoors continued.

In the winter of 2013, Galante spent 21 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 first encounter to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills to search for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be alive. Forrest considers this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, because it combines conservation with education and wildlife with exploration. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild aspects of the earth we live on that draws us to this amazing man.
