1997 to 2004. In brief, in comparison to 1997, elephant populations across these countries declined in 2004, with the exception of Cambodia and Laos. Notably, India has consistently maintained the highest

number

of

elephants

in both years. Turning to detail, starting with right below 10000

elephants

in 1997, India lost almost 2,500 species, which left an estimated population of only 7,500.

Similarly

, Thailand and Malaysia saw a steeper decline in elephant populations. Their numbers dropped to roughly one-third of what they were in 1997, from almost 4000 to 1000 and 3000 to 1000, respectively. Sri Lanka and Myanmar

also

saw a slight decrease of less than 500 species in their elephant populations in 2004, compared to 1997.

Conversely

in 2004,
