Peer comment(s):

disagree Ben Gaia : Sorry but you cannot say this in English, you can say 'prohibited' but protected or excluded from production would be better syntax.

definition

défends, defend, défens (1119) Sylv. 1. Interdiction de pacage dans un bois. 2. Interdiction faite au propriétaire d'un bois d'y faire une coupe.
[Larousse Lexis]

(pacage = grazing)

Don't know the forestry term for it, but simply "prohibited" (l’exploitation n’est pas possible et actuellement prohibée par l’entreprise) should get you out of the woods.
