about 500,000 elephants and they are living in a small number of countries. A ban was given on all international trade in ivory in

Read the passage and choose the best answer:
It is difficult to know how many elephants once lived in the continent, but there may have been at least 3-5 million
elephants in Africa in the early part of the twentieth century. People have always hunted elephants for meat, hides and ivory. As
the human population grew and weapons became more advanced, elephants were under greater threat. In the late 1970s and early
1980s there was a huge decline in the number of elephants due to the increase in poaching. It is estimated that there are now
about 500,000 elephants and they are living in a small number of countries. A ban was given on all international trade in ivory in
1989, and many governments started to give poachers severe punishments. Thanks to such timely actions, some elephant
populations, especially those in Southern Africa, have recovered over the last decade. However, numerous threats remain for
