Naturalist and Conservationist Forrest is Earth's Champion!

At the young age of 14, Galante was the youngest person in history to head a multi-national canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of the many examples of his early adventures. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife in conjunction with his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he typically partners with local groups to explore remote regions. As a naturalist, he strives to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for whale sharks in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

Galante was a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid' in the winter of 2013, where he spent 21 demanding days in the jungles of Panama. The cast willingly followed his lead as Galante's skills set him apart. This was the public's first encounter to the adventurer Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set scouring for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be alive. Forrest deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever done, because it partners education with conservation and exploration with nature. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild aspects of the world we live in that draws us to this amazing man.
