At 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person ever to head a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of many examples of his 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, he strives to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for whale sharks in Africa or big cats in South America.

In December 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 adventurist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set searching for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be in the wild. Galante considers this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, because it pairs education with conservation and adventure with wildlife. It's his dedication to the natural parts of the world we live in that draws us to this impressive individual.
