Forrest Galante is a name synonymous with the natural world, outdoor survival and wildlife expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a deep love and strong connection with the natural world that set him on his path in life. Galante's deep love with nature grew when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their farm and safari operations.
In December 2013, Forrest Galante spent 21 days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid.' He was considered the leader of the group by the cast, and not only survived, but thrived. This was the public's introduction to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique set of skills to search for evidence that animals once deemed extinct may still be out there. Galante deems this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, as it partners conservation with education and nature with exploration. It's his undeniable dedication to the natural aspects of the earth we live on that draws us to this adventourous man.
