TASK RESPONSE.
The bar graph shows the estimated highest population of elephants in nine different Asian countries.
Overall, India accounted for the biggest herd of elephants even after a gradual decline, and except in Cambodia and Laos, the number of elephants declined noticeably.
As exhibited in the graph, elephants in the countries dwindled in 2004 compared to 1997. In Malaysia and Thailand, the number dropped to less than half the figure in 1997. In the former, the number of elephants declined to as low as 1000. India remained with the largest elephant population despite a gradual decline in the in the seven years to 7500 from 10,000. China had the least number of elephants at 1000, declining to half by 2004. Although the trend was downwards overall, the elephant population in Laos and Vietnam remained almost the same in both 1997 and 2004, between 1000 and 1500. The decrease in Myanmar and Sri Lanka was minimal, from 5200 to 4800 and 3000 to 2800 respectively.
