Unforbid the "Forbidden Land"

[Nkoo]

I think its distinct nature made it forbidden. Attempting to make it unforbidden will take away from its very nature thereby making for an inadequate storyline.

I think it should remain forbidden and only accessible to a few. Making it accessible to all will spoil the reasons that has made this story interesting.

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.

In my opinion the island should remain unforbidden as that's the only way to protect the natural elements present in the island.

Humans have a habit of going full throttle on their discoveries, not realizing that they might cause damage or injure themselves. I believe the restrictions on Zona are necessary in order to protect both. Zona should not be unforbidden

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

I feel Zona should remain forbidden. It might become contaminated and lose its naturalness.

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.

The dynamic nature of this question invites multiple possible answers. First, why is the island forbiden? Is it because of its inaccessibility? Is the government marking it unsafe just to protect people from the dangers that may await them? Is the government out to protect the island's serenity from encroachment? I think finding out the answers to the questions above will largely answer the question about whether Zona should be unforbiden or not.

Zona should remain forbidden. The fact that it is forbidden makes it more interesting to read! Reader usually require a storyline that is somehow intriguing like this one. It's best if it remains forbidden.

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.
