At the young age of 14, Galante was the youngest person ever to head an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. This is just one of the many examples of Galante's early expeditions. Galante is an impassioned individual who is driven to educate people about nature and help people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His hands-on approach with wildlife paired with his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he typically partners with local groups to explore remote regions. As a naturalist, he attempts to leave a positive, biological impact no matter if he's searching for whale sharks in Australia or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.
Forrest Galante has caught anacondas, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged an angry panther and had countless other adventures. His career began in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, with a focus on animals close to extinction. His approach with wildlife, love for nature and one-of-a-kind background has led to the development of his own Animal Planet television show, 'Extinct or Alive.' The show follows Forrest on expedition as he searchers the earth searching for creatures he believes have incorrectly been deemed extinct.
