Our Planet's Number One Explorer!

Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of the natural world that put him on his path in life. Galante's deep love with nature strengthened when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their farm and safari outfitters.



In the winter of 2013, Galante spent 21 demanding days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's program '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 now hosts Animal Planet's top program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set scouring for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be alive. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, as it pairs conservation with education and wildlife with adventure. It's his dedication to the natural aspects of the world we live in that attracts us to this adventourous individual.
