Nature's Number One Explorer!

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 love and deep connection with nature that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep relationship with nature continued when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their farm and safari outfitters.

Galante was the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's show 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 relentless days in the jungles of Panama. The cast swiftly followed his lead as Galante's skills shone. This was the public's introduction to the naturalist Forrest Galante. He is now the host of Animal Planet's hit show 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique set of skills to search for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be alive. Forrest deems this the most detrimental television work he has ever been a part of, because it combines education with conservation and adventure with wildlife. It's his dedication to the natural aspects of the earth we live on that draws us to this amazing man.
