Hello,
1. In the following sentence, is less than correct? Should it not be fewer than?
Yet, by 1850, the Hudson’s Bay Company of Canada, and other trappers, succeeded in reducing beaver populations from more than 60 million to less than 20 million.
2. The loss of beavers from much of their original range is also of importance for other species.
In this sentence, is much OK or should it be more?
Your explanation would be much appreciated. Thank you!
