It didn't even occur to me to interpret “In the jungle of” literally, to the point that I didn't even notice it contained the word “jungle” until I Ctrl-F'd for it.
The metaphor's going over my head. Don't feel obligated to explain though, I'm only mildly curious. But know that it's not obvious to everyone.

Well that was a straightforward answer.
(I think the last time I heard the word “jungle” used literally to refer to rainforest was probably in Jumanji.)
(last time I heard the word "jungle" was a Peruvian guy saying his dad grew up in the jungle and telling me about Peruvian native marriage traditions)
