Your information, or source, is incorrect. The North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) population was never reduced below 10 million. So it never came close to extinction. The European Beaver (Castor fiber) was hunted to the point of extinction in many European nations, and has only be re-introduced into many countries with years of trap and transfer work. Extinction dates of the European Beaver, by country or area: * Romania 1824 * The Netherlands (Unknown date) * Scandinavia between 1000 and 1800 * Britain 1526

What was the most popular fur traded by the French in America?

Beaver, which lived in considerable numbers in the Great Lakes region, was a popular fur among both Native American and French trappers. The European beaver was hunted nearly to extinction in the 19th century, but the North American beaver (Canadian beaver) was more fortunate. In 1977, as many as 500,000 beavers were legally trapped in the US and Canada, mostly to control local overpopulation.
