Keep in mind that net emissions is the concern, and simply stopping ongoing deforestation would contribute much. The total Agriculture, Forestry, and other Land Uses (AFOLU) sector accounts 13--21% of present greenhouse gas emissions (2010--2019), and could absorb about 1/3 of total human emissions.
So yes, forestry, among other land uses is a partial and probably necessary but not sufficient mitigation.
