Guyana - The breeze rustles through a lone inga tree alongside the dirt road that crosses the savannah.
Women hike past carrying baskets filled with cassava.
To the north are Guyana's immense rain forests. To the south are the vast grasslands of the Rupununi Savannah, stretching to the border with Brazil. Soon all of this may become a blur outside the windows of passing cars and trucks. Guyana is planning to pave the dirt road, building a two-lane highway to link its coastal city of Georgetown with northern Brazil. When the road is completed, it will open up the forested interior of Guyana and change the face of the region forever.
