Forrest Galante is a name synonymous with the natural world, wilderness survival and animal expertise. During his youth living in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest developed a life-long love of the natural world that seemed to map out his future. After political unrest forced his family to move back to California, Forrest's involvement with nature became stronger.

Galante was a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 days in the jungles of Panama. He was considered the leader by the cast, and not only survived, but thrived. This was the public's introduction to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's top program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique skill-set to search for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be in the wild. Forrest deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, as it partners conservation with education and nature with adventure. It's his undeniable dedication to the wild aspects of the earth we live on that draws us to this impressive man.
