I think it is important that areas needed by species at risk have some clearly defined no-go zones. Potentially, they could be time limited no-go zones, with provisions to recheck the situation in 10-20 years for example.

An example of the dangers of not creating no-go zones can be seen in Northern Alberta, where roads cut to explore for potential mineral resources created corridors that predators use to more easily catch prey species, including species at risk.

An example of the benefits of a no-go zone for wildlife, can be seen in the unfortunate experiment caused by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster - the no-go zone created there has seen a huge increase in wildlife due to the absence of human activity.
