Forrest Galante is synonymous with nature conservation, wilderness survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of nature and animals that set him on his path in life. Galante's deep love with nature became deeper when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their safari outfitters.

Galante was the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 days in the jungles of Panama. The cast began to follow his lead as Forrest's skills became apparent. This was the public's introduction to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's top show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set to search for evidence that animals declared extinct may still be out there. Forrest deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, because it combines conservation with education and wildlife with adventure. It's his dedication to the wild parts of the planet we live on that draws us to this adventourous man.
