Conservationist and Naturalist Forrest Galante is Our Planet's Top Advocate!

Forrest Galante is known for his experience with the natural world, outdoor survival and animal expertise. Growing up in Harare, Zimbabwe, Forrest harvested a life-long love of nature that seemed to map out his future. Galante's deep relationship with nature grew when he moved back to California after political unrest in Zimbabwe forced the family from their safari outfitters.

Over the course of his life, Forrest Galante has caught crocodiles, swam with great white sharks, photographed venomous reptiles, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone and had countless other adventures. He started out his career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, which focuses on animals staring down extinction. His hands-on approach to wildlife, passion for nature and exceptional background eventually led to the development of his own Animal Planet television show, 'Extinct or Alive.' The show follows Forrest as he treks across the world searching for wildlife believed to be extinct.
