Extinct or Alive

In our age of convenience and disposable everything Forrest Galante is a true champion of our natural world. He is an advocate for species that need our help. Besides all the great wildlife info, the show is fresh and fun! I am always excited for a new episode. I hope it stays on the air for many years!

My daughter loves this show. As a tween, shes loves anything with animals and science, and Forrest has captured her attention with just enough background info that shes learning biology, ecology, and geography and loving it. Has had a couple of "teaching moments" in the show, but so completely better than other the alternative types of shows she could be watching.

I have to honestly say that each episode has me glued to my chair. Each episode goes so quick because it brings something new and is thoroughly entertaining. Not only am I entertained but I generally learn a thing or two from Forrest. Plus I believe what we see and hear can help people to believe in the chance of finding a supposed extinct species. I mean you never truly know and almost anything is possible.

Each episode focuses on one particular animal that has been determined to be extinct. So they go there to research and look for the animal with the hopes of getting evidence that they exist still. If they are able to get evidence and they can provide funding to assist the animal to stay alive. Along the way Forrest will also find other animals that you can see and learn about too.

Hopefully most people that watch will at least slightly change their ways for the betterment of the planet and our wonderful animals. It's sad to see how many living things have gone and will continue to go extinct due to humans.

The show is fantastic and they all deserve kudos for a job well done.

Forrest you are the man!! Keep it up!! Props to the crew and everyone behind the scenes too! You all make it happen! Lastly, thanks to Animal Planet for having this kind of programming!!!

In a political and social climate where so much seems dire and lost, and for good reason, this is the necessary reminder that while there is much work to be done, there is hope.

Things we may have thought lost can still be found.

The excitement and passion the host has for what he does can be felt in each episode and the discoveries he makes are momentous. A must watch for all nature lovers, and outdoorsy types alike.

A few bad reviews here and there seem more to be based around pedantic complaints and stick in the mud types. Everyone should watch.

Unlike one of the best drinking game shows on tv "Finding Bigfoot" this show actually goes out and searches for real animals that were known to science and lost to it presumably.

It is entertaining as well as honest without the need for made-up-drama though there is some drama but the pay-offs in education are worth it an Yes when the Tort was found as a Herpetologist and Conservationist myself I did feel that joy in my heart.
