1. Identify why the visual comparison may mislead readers

The poster compares $500\,000$ elephants with $22\,000$ elephants killed using elephant silhouettes of very different sizes. Since the sizes of the pictures do not clearly represent the numerical scale, the visual impression may distort the comparison.

Answer

The poster may be misleading because the smaller elephant picture is much smaller than the larger one, making $22\,000$ elephants killed look far smaller compared with $500\,000$ elephants than it actually is. The use of different-sized pictures can exaggerate or distort the comparison.
