Kenneth Douglas Stewart Anderson (8 March 1910 – 30 August 1974), known primarily as Kenneth Anderson or as KDS Anderson, was a Scottish-Indian writer, nature enthusiast, conservationist, and ethical hunter who lived and worked in South India. He authored highly-regarded books based on his experiences hiking, camping, and hunting in the Indian jungles. Anderson initially gained fame around Bangalore as an outstanding hunter of high ethics. Later, his brave and skilful hunting of menacing man-eater leopards and tigers throughout South India earned him the nickname Corbett of the South, in reference to his older North Indian counterpart Jim Corbett. In mid-20th century, alarmed and disheartened by the destruction of wildlife, he pleaded for the preservation of flora and fauna of the forests in all regions of India. As an ex-hunter expert on wild animals' behaviour, he was a trailblazer in wildlife tourism in Bangalore, and is admired as a pioneer conservationist in southern India.
