Forrest Galante is known for his experience with nature conservation, wilderness survival and animal expertise. During his youth living in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest developed a deep love and strong connection with nature and animals that set him on his path in life. Galante's deep relationship with nature continued when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their safari outfitters.

In the winter of 2013, Galante spent 21 grueling days in the Panamanian jungle as a participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid.' The cast began to follow his lead as Galante's skills shone. This was the public's first encounter to the adventurist Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he utilizes his unique skill-set scouring for evidence that animals once declared extinct may still be alive. Forrest considers this the most meaningful television work he has ever done, because it partners conservation with education and wildlife with adventure. It's his dedication to the natural aspects of the earth we live on that attracts us to this impressive person.Forrest Galante
