To my understanding, MM has the best forest practice inherited from British, compare to anywhere in the world. (If you look into satellite photos of 5 years ago, you will get the answer of how the world is. Google Map is not good enough, since it is a free one. I am also a Gmap user for initial survey.)
Again, the main culprit of global warming is not the absence of CO2 (and other greenhouse gases, GHG such as methane, NO gas) absorption. It is emissions,which are come from Industrial world. (Eg. transportation emission, industrial applications, etc.)
Another example, a person in a developed country have a good living with GHG emission is not fair to a person living in a poor country with no basic economic living but keep absorbing CO2.
UN has made a study and made a program since 1992 commonly known as Kyoto Protocol. A protocol that balance out Poverty eradication, country development and environmental protection (global warming is part of it.) So far the only country in the world that refuse to be in signatory is United States. (I hope you are not living in that country.)

I am working in an organisation to make such protocol in place.
From you photo, I saw two things: stony soil and Jatropha plant. Stony soil = can grow nothing, i.e., it is hardly to be a forest soil, and it cannot plant any food crop. Jatorpha plant = hardy plant can grow on marginal land. I have seen those plant older than 50 years and it is a tree. This plant we call as green energy plant which doesn't conflict with food supply in the world, help to improve GHG absorption and thus we encourage people to plant.
If your photo is a plantation of such kind, I will personally love to visit there.
