The state-owned Forestry Corporation of New South Wales has again been ordered to stop work in an area of forest after the Environment Protection Authority identified endangered greater glider habitat nearby.

It has prompted the NSW Greens to reiterate calls for a plan to end native forest logging, while environment groups urged the Minns government to immediately suspend operations in other parts of the state with high glider records.
