There were more acres of deforested land per year in the Amazon during Lula and his successor Dilma's terms, than in Bolsonaro's term.

Source ? Also, have you seen the former ministry of environment Ricardo Salles in the April 22, 2020 video of the ministries meeting with Bolsonaro ?
Parent comment is partially correct [0] (deforestation was higher under lula but lower under dilma), though it leaves out important context that the rate of deforestation fell precipitously during lula’s term, and rose during bolsonaro’s tenure.
