In addition, its evident that human interference would only do more harm than good to zona.

Quite true, one would expect that the characters would tell others about it for more exploration and even exploitation. The author did a good thing here with the characters' decision to keep the secrets.

Yes, but it would make room for a new story, with the challenge of making that equally interesting in the absence of something forbidden.

Agree. If Zona opens, there will be more damage to the natures.

Forbidden even for well-meant scientists? Looking for a cure for cancer or, why not, Covid19? :)

keeping a place forbidden keeps raising the interest of adventure-seeking people, who in turn would try to explore the area and may eventually disturb the ecological balance there. it is inevitable as is the fate of rainforests.

this seems to be a better explanation to why Zona is called the forbidden land.

I have no counterargument to what happened to the rainforests. And our forests too, as a matter of fact. Perhaps there should be more forbidden Zones to preserve the wildlife in the world.
