Welcome to the Jungle" is a song by American rock band Guns N' Roses, featured as the opening track on their debut album, Appetite for Destruction (1987). It was released as the album's second single initially in the UK in September 1987 then again in October 1988 this time including the US, where it reached number seven on the Billboard Hot 100[8] and number 24 on the UK Singles Chart.[9]

Axl Rose wrote the lyrics while visiting a friend in Seattle: "It's a big city, but at the same time, it's still a small city compared to L.A. and the things that you're gonna learn. It seemed a lot more rural up there. I just wrote how it looked to me. If someone comes to town and they want to find something, they can find whatever they want."[11] Guitarist Izzy Stradlin summarizes the song as "about Hollywood streets; true to life".[12]


The breakdown was based on a song called "The Fake" that Duff McKagan wrote in 1978 for his punk band the Vains.[14] The bassist said it was the first song he ever wrote, and that it was later released as a single by that band.[14]


"Welcome to the Jungle" was ranked number 19 in Martin Popoff's book The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time.[18] It was also named the second greatest metal song by VH1 in 2008.[19] In 2006, VH1 also placed the song at number 26 on its list of the "100 Greatest Songs of the 80s" and, in 2009, the channel ranked it the greatest hard rock song of all time.[6] It was ranked number 467 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" list in 2004, number 473 in 2010, and number 491 in 2021.[20] (Rolling Stone readers named it "the greatest sports anthem" in 2009[21]) and number 764 in Q's "1001 Best Songs Ever".[12] Paste and Kerrang both named it Guns N' Roses' greatest song.[22][23] It was named the "greatest song about Los Angeles" in a 2006 Blender poll.[24]


"'Welcome to the Jungle' had this high velocity, high impact, aggressive delivery," Slash observed. "But there were a lot of emotional subtleties in the song that the band really grasped. If Axl went here, the band went with him. I really love that about the band and the music and how it all came together. There was something magical in all of that."[13]


Geffen Records was having a hard time selling the video to MTV. David Geffen made a deal with the network, and the video was aired only one time around 5:00AM on a Sunday morning.[26] As soon as the video was aired, the networks received numerous calls from people wanting to see the video again.


In spite of the early morning airtime, the song's music video caught viewers' attention and quickly became MTV's most requested video. The video in question (directed by Nigel Dick) begins with a shot of Axl Rose disembarking a bus in Los Angeles and a drug dealer (portrayed by Izzy) is seen trying to sell his merchandise while Rose rejects it. As Rose stops to watch a television through a store window, clips of the band playing live can be seen and Slash can also be seen briefly, sitting against the store's wall and drinking from a clear glass bottle in a brown paper bag. By the end of the video, Rose has transformed into a city punk, wearing the appropriate clothing, after going through a process similar to the Ludovico technique.


The song was used in the 2004 video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the in-game radio station Radio X, and was used in the second trailer for the game.[32] "Welcome to the Jungle" is also a playable song in the 2007 video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock; the band's then-former guitarist Slash makes an appearance as a playable character in the game.

Griffiths, an assistant teaching professor in the Earth Commons, studies the ecology of large mammal species in the Peruvian Amazon and the sustainability of subsistence hunting. Since 2017, Griffiths has worked alongside the Maijuna, an Indigenous community in northeast Peru whose ancestral lands span nearly a million acres in the Amazon.


In July, Griffiths will lead a team of over 20 researchers, including three Georgetown students, on a multi-week expedition deep into the Amazonian jungle in conjunction with the Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research, OnePlanet, the Detroit Zoological Society and the Maijuna Federation.


In the field, the students will trek out into the wilderness each day alongside the Maijuna to set up cameras to record wildlife activity. The cameras can capture anything from jaguars to giant anteaters and tapirs.


Recording footage for months at a time, the cameras will enable Griffiths to measure how much of the habitat is occupied by a particular species. Griffiths hopes the data will support his hypothesis that Indigenous hunting in the area, a key source of food for the Maijuna, is sustainable.


With just a backpack to not only live three weeks in the jungle but also perform critical conservation work, the students need to be prepared for anything they may encounter. Griffiths outlined a few of the essential items needed before embarking on an adventure in the Amazon.


The final thing Griffiths recommends is a headlamp and sharp knife to navigate in the darkness and fix equipment. While students will get an early start every morning, Griffiths teaches them to always be prepared and adaptable in case they have to navigate back to camp in the dark.


Griffiths recommends doing some extra cardio leading up to the trip and stresses the importance of eating three full meals a day. He reassures his students that any weight they gain prior to the trip will likely be shed during three weeks of backpacking in the Amazon.


In the field, students will travel with Maijuna guides who use local Spanish names for locations throughout the jungle. Griffiths requires each of his students to have a map that not only the students can use but also that the Maijuna can understand.

The Jungle Warfare Training Center at Camp Gonsalves, Okinawa, Japan, is a rigorous 10-day Jungle Medicine Course, designed to train medical personnel to operate and treat patients in a tropical combat environment.


Located in northern Okinawa, the only Department of Defense jungle training facility for Marines and joint forces welcomes students on day one into the jungle with course conditions that include Meal, Ready-to-Eat rations, two-person tents and luxurious field showers.


As a lead course instructor, Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Kevin Gizara spent time each day with the students through training evolutions that included tracking patients, land navigation, rope systems, rappelling techniques, tactical combat casualty care and casualty evacuation.


The course schedule outlines the objectives for each day, allotting time for classroom training, followed by practical application of each skill. This allowed the corpsmen to hone hands-on skills outside of the medical field.
