The graph below shows the changes in the maximum number of Asian elephants between 1997 and 2004.

The bar chart illustrates the evaluated maximum number of elephant populations in 8 different Asia countries in 1997 and 2004.

Overall

, India had the greatest number of

elephants

within the period,

while

most of the countries in Asia were estimated only to have less than 2500

elephants

during the mentioned time. It is explicit that India and Myanmar were the two lands ranked first and second in terms of the statistics of

elephants

in 1997 and 2004. The data for India was almost two times greater than Myanmar's which is slightly lower than 10,000 and the latter is around 5000.

Furthermore

, In 2004, almost all countries evaluated statistics of

elephants

decreased, except for Cambodia, which had a slight increase. Looking at the information for more detail, what stands out from the scheme is that in 1997 china with roughly 1200

elephants

was in the lowest position. Meanwhile, the figures of Cambodia and Sri Lanka were nearly identical,

however

, Sri Lanka maintained almost the same number, which was around 3000, in 2004 and Malaysia dropped to one-third of its original figures in 1997, about 1000

elephants

.
