The Greatest Explorer Around!

At the young age of 14, Galante was the youngest person ever to head an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River. And this is just one of the many examples of Galante's early expeditions. Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource-our planet. His expertise with wildlife and his scientific background are assets to biological groups around the world as he usually partners with local groups to explore remote regions. As a conservationist, Forrest aims to leave a positive, biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Africa or Komodo dragons in Indonesia.

Throughout his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with several species of sharks, photographed venomous snakes, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged an angry panther and had countless other adventures. He started out his career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, always focusing on animals close to extinction. His approach to wildlife, love for the outdoors and exceptional background has led to the development of his own television show, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show follows Galante as he treks across the world looking for species he believes have inaccurately been deemed extinct.
