jungle clearing
Rainforest open space
A jungle clearing is an open space within dense tropical forest where trees and undergrowth have been removed or never grew.
Clearings may be natural or man-made—created for settlements, agriculture, or logging.
The term evokes a sudden break in thick vegetation: They hacked through the brush until they reached a small jungle clearing.
