Publisher's Summary

Thrilling adventures in wildlife conservation from “the Indiana Jones of Biology” (Entrepreneur)

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 life-forms. 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 listeners 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 listeners 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.

Anybody want to change the world?!

Forrest's narration is brilliant. The whole way through you feel like you're living in the moments he speaks about. Compelling story and thought provoking incidents really make you want to reconsider how we as people effete the earth and the eco systems that live with us

The story was what made this book for me. Quite a short book but it was interesting.

Interesting life of a wildlife explorer. Fascinating that he is able to go on a two week expedition to various countries and actually discover supposedly extinct animals!
