Has it decreased at all since he took office or remained growing?

Basically just curious if it's a record due to previous rises or under Lula it has grown as well

The highest ever, according to what I've seen, was in 1995. However, the year of 2004 had the closest to 1994 and it was under Lula's government.

“Last month, Amazon deforestation was down 61 percent from a year earlier, according to the same source.”

“Over Bolsonaro's presidency, average annual deforestation increased by 75 percent compared to the previous decade.”

Jeez the very article you posted pretty specifically contradicts the statements you’re making.
