Conservation

Galante is truly passionate about education and helping people save our most valuable resource—our planet. His hands-on skill with wildlife and scientific background have been assets to biological groups around the world, as he typically seeks to partner with local groups when exploring remote regions. As a conservationist, he attempts to leave a positive biological impact in every place he visits, whether searching for fresh-water turtles in Australia or komodo dragons in Indonesia.

Aside from being a crazy adventurer, traveler, and adrenaline junkie, Galante also takes time to give back to those around him; teaching the laws of conservation to all he meets.

“In order to enjoy the natural world, it is critical to give back to it . Nature is a true give-and-take entity, and if you take more than you give, not only will we destroy nature, but we will have an unsettling empty feeling from subconscious guilt.”

Galante works with a variety of conservation groups from around the world doing outreach and helping spread awareness and understanding of wildlife and environments in need. Some of the groups Galante works with include:
