At 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person in history to head an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of the many examples of Galante's early expeditions. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife paired with his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he usually partners with local groups exploring remote regions. As a naturalist, Forrest strives to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for whale sharks in Africa or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

In the winter of 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 relentless 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 top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set scouring for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be out there. Forrest considers this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, because it combines education with conservation and adventure with nature. It's his dedication to the natural parts of the earth we live on that attracts us to this adventourous man.
