Naturalist and Conservationist Forrest is Earth's Number One Advocate!
Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, wilderness survival and animal expertise. He grew up in Harare, Zimbabwe, which instilled a life-long love of the natural world that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep involvement with nature strengthened when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their safari operations.
In December 2013, Galante spent 21 days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast began to follow his lead as Galante's skills set him apart. This was the public's introduction to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of 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 out there. Galante considers this the most meaningful television work he has ever been a part of, because it pairs conservation with education and wildlife with exploration. It's his dedication to the wild aspects of the world we live in that attracts us to this impressive person.
