botswana.ne of the last gardens of eden in the one african country determined to keep its animals safe from humans with guns. this is the story of one country's quest to build a bullet-free paradise while surrounded by neighbors who believe paradise cannot exist without the hunter. my name is bill weir, and i'm a storyteller. i've reported from all over the world, and i've seen so much change. so i made a list of the most wonderful places to explore right before they change forever. this is "the wonder list." it is 123 degrees. it hasn't rained here in three years. and i am playing hide and seek with a rhinoceros. let's go find the last of a species, i said. go to namibia, the experts said. i guess they forgot to mention it would be 123 degrees. >> oh, yeah, yeah. >> this is the clear one. >> oh, yeah, yeah. even i could make that one out. look at that. >> jason and martin grew up in this heat. grew up tracking. everything from cows to lions across this rock. so they're fluent, both in rhino tr

that's where i hunted botswana. big time africa hunted in botswana. so, yeah, they made it clear that, yeah, we're not welcome until the next president comes in and they change their mind again. >> you think that will happen? >> i think that will happen. >> is the ban forever? >> i'm not going to give a date on the ban. okay? during my tenure, i can sell what i believe to be true and prove s. it, why should they change? why should it change? >> t.k. and his brother have three years left in power. so for at least that long these lucky guys will wander the last best place to be a rhino. >> they are very lucky. there's food. there's water. there's freedom. there's shade. water. and the nearest danger to them has got to be 300 miles away. >> first sniff of botswanan freedom. >> exactly. more than that, it's freedom for the world. safety. >> yeah. >> and beginnings, new beginnings here. woman: it's been a journey to get where i am. and i didn't get here alone. there were people who listened along the way. people who gave

>> because of where we are, this is why botswana has been chosen.his structure that i talk so much b. political rule right at the top. >> will bill weir, man of the hour joins me. incredible to see that, such beautiful animals what did it take to get to that point where the rhinos were released? >> this is an interesting comparison. botswana is one of the rare countries in africa that's banned hunting on public land. those are white rhinos that flew from a game farm in south africa and set them free, gave their them their first taste of freedom as you saw, because the hunting-protected place, the animal welfare folks hope this is a model for the rest of africa. that it will get rid of hunting. and then these populations of rhino and lion and elephant will bounce back. the hunters, though, have a real problem with this. and they have some science behind them. they say unless we incentivize these creatures as targets for big-game hunters, you remember a guy from texas paid $350,000 to shoot one of the last black rhinos in the wild, that without that i

current members of the list include botswana, guatemala, and the marshal islands. >> we cannot be alonedoing this. that is why i have allowed the oecd to make the same decision for all involved. france removed panama from the blacklist in 2012 after signing a bilateral deal to fight tax evasion. they played a decisive role in the g20 agreement to restrict financial -- to impose financial restrictions on the company -- country. the panama papers reveal the thousands of french taxpayers, among many others. panama is spamming to defend itself. the government said that they could take retaliatory measures against france, including blocking foreign investments. >> there is a retaliation law against countries like panama. it's a blacklist. we will not accept being used as a scapegoat for the actions and responsibilities of third parties. panama-based law firm at the heart of the scandal has denied wrongdoing and has had many of the high-profile figures cited in the documents. with the global spotlight firmly on panama city, regulators are looking into individual cases and the country's financ

. >> we work now in two southern african countries -- south africa, in the townships, and in botswana in the rural areas. >> okay. >> and we distribute bundles in both. listening to this that may say, "well, some of that work you could do here." why do you think it's so important to offer these services in africa? >> well, i think there's two reasons. initially, it was to support the new democratic south africa. >> mm-hmm. >> now we know that it's important to give first at home, and most people do, including myself. we're very philanthropic. when you go to the townships and rural areas, they do not have the safety nets that we have here. >> mm-hmm. >> they don't have public hospitals. they do not have food stamps. they do not have all the things that we know, by default, we can have. in the rural areas, it's even worse. so, we're all god's children, and i think we should extend a hand. >> and you talked about raising money and raising resources for this. you know, how do you do that, and what do you need? >> well, how we do it is we approach individuals, civic foundations across the
