No way. You are trying to recreate the history. The last administrations were the worse in term of numbers.
Look the Table on:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_of_the_Amazon_rainforest https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deforestation_of_the_Amazon_ra..., "Anual Forest Loss".. look around 1999 and 2008.
Here some articles describing the scenarios back in the days:

- farias0 6y agoI don't get your point. Bolsonaro is the fourth Brazilian president since 2008. And yes, environment weren't the top priority at any point, but there were actual efforts to lower deforestation, and the last URL you linked illustrates.
- pelasaco 6y agoWell look to the table. The numbers look the same regardless of the president in place.
- farias0 6y agoYou mean the table on Wikipedia? Because the numbers lowered substantially after 2005.
- pelasaco 6y agoFor sure I mean the table on Wikipedia. If you look 2013 and 2015, there were as well upside variations. Bolsonaro started his term on 1. January, 2019. To somehow attribute anything to him in this regards, you should wait at least 50% of his term. Unless the focus isn't in his work as president but on him as person.
