A trailer for the eight-part epic Our Planet teases beautiful footage of cheetahs on the hunt and adorable baby monkeys with their mothers, as well as sobering shots of melting ice caps, all complete with a signature dramatic score.

As the trailer plays out, a message appears that alludes to the series' focus on conservation efforts to raise awareness of climate change: “Netflix presents a global event that reminds us we’re all on one team.”
