Nature's Top Champion!
At age 14, Forrest Galante was the youngest person in history to lead an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of the many examples of Galante's early adventures. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he typically partners with local groups exploring remote regions. As a conservationist, Forrest attempts to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
Over the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous snakes, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged an angry panther and had countless other adventures. He began his career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, always focusing on animals staring down extinction. His approach with wildlife, love for nature and extraordinary background has led to the development of his own Animal Planet television show, 'Extinct or Alive.' The show shadows Forrest as he travels the globe searching for creatures he believes have incorrectly been deemed extinct.
