The vertical graph depicts the estimated comparison of Asian elephants in nine different countries in 1994 and 2007.

Overall, a sharp decline has been shown in most countries.

Although the number of elephants declined in India from just below 10000 in 1997 to approximately 7500 species in 2004, the number was still far higher than in any other country. Having had an extremely large territory acreage, China had the lowest population even it increased in 2004. 

Besides India, Malaysia and Thailand also had a significant dropped in population by more than half within seven years.
