The presence of wildlife doesn't make a place a jungle. A jungle is a heavily forested area with a hot climate. Rainforests also potentially fall into this category. As far as I know burning man is held in an area that resembles a desert more than a forest.

�noun
1. a wild land overgrown with dense vegetation, often nearly impenetrable, esp. tropical vegetation or a tropical rain forest. Rainforest?
2. a tract of such land. Monsoon delta?
3. a wilderness of dense overgrowth; a piece of swampy, thickset forestland. Again rainforest.
4. any confused mass or agglomeration of objects; jumble: a jungle of wrecked automobiles. Nevada.
5. something that baffles or perplexes; maze: a jungle of legal double-talk. Nevada.
6. a scene of violence and struggle for survival: The neglected prison was a jungle for its inmates. Nevada.
7. a place or situation of ruthless competition: the advertising jungle.
8. Slang. a hobo camp.
Look at point 4,5 and 6. Perfect for Nevada.
