The Forestry Corporation has temporarily abandoned plans to log a NSW forest where it's suspected of destroying the den trees of endangered greater gliders.

Conservationists say it's a win but a temporary halt isn't good enough and more must be done to save Australia's largest gliding marsupial from extinction.
