Barack Obama is getting back to nature.

The former president will executive produce and narrate a “breathtaking” five-part nature series called “Our Great National Parks,” which “invites viewers to experience nature in the world’s most iconic national parks,” Netflix announced Tuesday.

“Spanning five continents, the series brims with wonder, humor, and optimism as each episode tells the story of a national park through the lives of its wildest residents — both big and exceptionally small — and explores our changing relationship with wilderness,” reads the logline.

“Traveling from the waters of Monterey Bay, California, to the bright red soil of Kenya’s Tsavo National Park, the lush rainforests of Indonesia’s Gunung Leuser National Park, the majestic terrain of Chilean Patagonia, and more, ‘Our Great National Parks’ beckons us to get out and explore, create new ways for these wild places to thrive, and vigorously preserve them for future generations to come.”

During his presidency, Obama established and expanded protections for over 550 million acres of public land and water.

He and wife Michelle set up Higher Ground Productions in May 2018 and have signed partnership deals with Netflix and Spotify.

“Our Great National Parks” will premiere on Netflix on April 13.
