The real problem is that forest is not being economically valued for its carbon sequestration capability.

Solving that would require complex carbon cap & trade regulations to be enforced.

Forests have basically no continuous carbon sequestration capability. Most of the carbon they'll ever sequester is already there.

You'd get more by turning it into a tree farm, converting trees to charcoal and burying that.
