Still Alive

A Wild Life of Rediscovery

De: Forrest Galante

Narrado por: Forrest Galante

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.

Great stories and a great message

Forrest , though young, has easily led a book worthy life. This was a great listen with some amazing stories that all focus on Forrest’s goal of affecting change in the world. This is definitely worth the money.

Excellent listen

Forest tells a great story of an interesting life and ties it into real world ramifications.

Absolutely Amazing Book

I loved listening to this and I love the message. I’ve been interested in animals and conservation since I was a child, and just recently discovered Forest Galante. Great book, great stories, and great message. Would recommend!

All I can say is… Wow!!!

For starters, what an entertaining reader! This dude is a goofball but don’t be mistaken, he’s the best there is and he means business when it comes to conservation!! I finished this book in one day and boy was it a wild ride. Forrest is an absolute maniac and one of the most inspiring and attention-grabbing figures in conservation today. Everything from his wild childhood in Zimbabwe to his recent near-miss ventures in Southeast Asia captivated my attention and instilled an enormous longing for adventure within me. I could go on for pages about this book but to say the least, it’s a must read and will definitely be in my regular rotation for road-trips and times of low faith in our climate crisis. Thank you Forrest, looking forward to the next one! ;)
