Naturalist and Conservationist Forrest is Nature's Champion!

Forrest Galante is a name synonymous with nature conservation, wilderness survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a deep love and strong connection with nature and animals that put him on his path in life. Galante's deep involvement with nature became deeper when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their safari outfitters.

Throughout his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous snakes, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, which focuses on animals staring down extinction. His hands-on approach with wildlife, love for nature and extraordinary background has led to the development of his own television program, 'Extinct or Alive,' on Animal Planet. The show shadows Galante as he travels the earth looking for wildlife he believes have wrongfully been deemed extinct.
