The Greatest Naturalist Alive!
At age 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person in history to head an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of many examples of Galante's early expeditions. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife in conjunction with his scientific background are assets to biological groups world-wide as he typically partners with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservationist, Galante attempts to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for whale sharks in Africa or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
Through the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with several species of sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a charging water buffalo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. His career started out in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, which focuses on animals close to extinction. His approach to wildlife, love for the outdoors and extraordinary background eventually led to the development of his own Animal Planet television show, 'Extinct or Alive.' The show follows Galante on expedition as he searchers the globe looking for animals he believes have inaccurately been deemed extinct.
