Very few individuals can truthfully say that their work impacts every person on earth. Forrest Galante is one of them. As a wildlife biologist and conservationist, Galante devotes his life to studying, rediscovering, and protecting our planet's amazing lifeforms. Part memoir, part biological adventure, Still Alive celebrates the beauty and determined resiliency of our world, as well as the brave conservationists fighting to save it. In his debut book, Galante takes readers on an exhilarating journey to the most remote and dangerous corners of the world. He recounts miraculous rediscoveries of species that were thought to be extinct and invites readers into his wild life: from his upbringing amidst civil unrest in Zimbabwe to his many globetrotting adventures, including suspenseful run-ins with drug cartels, witch doctors, and vengeful government officials. He shares all of the life-threatening bites, fights, falls, and jungle illnesses. He also investigates the connection between wildlife mistreatment and human safety, particularly in relation to COVID-19. Still Alive is much more than just a can't-put-down adventure story bursting with man-eating crocodiles, long-forgotten species rediscovered, and near-death experiences. It is an impassioned, informative, and undeniably inspiring examination of the importance of wildlife conservation today and how every individual can make a difference.

Forrest Galante, host of Extinct or Alive and the world's #1 rare species expert, takes readers along with him through the deepest wilderness and most remote and dangerous parts of the world to find all the animals we thought were extinct. In the course of his travels, Galante has been attacked by lions, stung by jellyfish, bitten by snakes and had run-ins with pissed off hippos. Still Alive offers a travelogue of Galante's most harrowing adventures, introducing readers to some of the most unique rare species he's encountered--while also adding the unpredictable drama and human element of traveling to some of the world's most isolated locations. Part memoir, part biological adventure, Still Alive is a calling card for conservation, highlighting not just Galante's toughness as he finds animals thought to be lost, but also the resiliency of the animals themselves, as they keep their species alive in spite of the odds.

We can save the planet, but first we need to break the rules.It's no surprise that the natural world around us is struggling. Climate change, destruction of vital ecosystems, loss of biodiversity—the list can feel never ending. But Forrest Galante, wildlife biologist, conservationist and television host of Animal Planet's Extinct or Alive, has a motto to saving the planet—"get sh*t done." Yet this can be easier said than done. Too often, the scientific institutions that have the welfare of the environment at their heart are also the slowest to move. And while our institutions fiddle, our wildlife and their habitats burn.But what would the world look like if we broke the rules and implemented the mindset of radical conservationism? What projects might demand our attention, our creativity, our passions? And ultimately, how can we put aside irrelevant priorities to actually deliver for the planet?From "The Indiana Jones of Biology" comes an enlightening and fearless journey, not only showing readers the current state of wildlife conservation but giving a behind the scenes look at his epic adventures across the globe, sharing incredible animals, habitats, and remote communities as he and others like him engage in radical conservation. From bucking the system to scuba dive beneath glaciers in wild Alaska, to saving African elephants in a remote village, to wrestling 20-foot-long snakes, to giving an inside look at the de-extinction of the Dire Wolf, and yes, even searching for walking sharks. Because ultimately, we need to expand the boundaries of what conservation can look like.The future of wildlife depends on it.
