I have loved this guy ever since I found "Extinct or Alive" on my TV planner... I have since followed him on social media and one thing that really comes through is his love and enthusiasm for what he does,
It was therefore great to be able to see the man behind this persona. To see how his childhood shaped the man he became and to witness some of the delights of his career so far.
It's poignant and also sends a big message about the wildlife and how precarious some of it is. Also our interaction with it and how that makes a difference - good and bad.
Enlightening and interesting stuff indeed.

I enjoyed reading this book. The book begins as the author recounts his childhood among animals in Zimbabwe. After political unrest in the country forces the family to leave they land in California. His mother struggles to keep the family together and Forrest struggles to fit it. Wildlife once again provides an escape for Forrest. The rest of the book deals with his television shows and his desire to bring awareness of conservation to the world. This was my favorite part of the book. I really enjoyed reading about the adventures to find "extinct" animals. The author does a good job with conveying his joy and inspiring others. The book is well written and easy to read. Enjoy

I loved getting to know Forrest Galante in this book, I always enjoy people that work to protect animals. This book was a wonderful read and I really enjoyed reading this.
