Forrest Galante is synonymous with nature conservation, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a love and deep connection with nature that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep love with nature strengthened when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their safari operations.

In the winter of 2013, Galante spent 21 relentless days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast began to follow his lead as Forrest's skills became apparent. This was the public's introduction to the adventurist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills scouring for evidence that animals declared extinct may still be alive. Forrest considers this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, because it pairs conservation with education and adventure with nature. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural parts of the earth we live on that attracts us to this amazing man.
