At 14, Galante was the youngest person in history to lead an international 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 hands-on approach with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he usually seeks to partner with local groups exploring remote regions. As a conservation expert, Galante attempts to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 relentless 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 introduction to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique skill-set scouring for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Galante deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, because it partners conservation with education and wildlife with adventure. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural aspects of the world we live in that draws us to this adventourous individual.
