In a major move in the field of Ethnobiology, Tariq Ahmad Bhat, Aijaz Ahmad Wani and M. Gulfishan from India are awarded with James Watson Research Award-2015 in Ethnobiology. Their research comes from renowned institutions which are involved in many different kinds of scientific research. Tariq Ahmad Bhat, Aijaz Ahmad Wani and M. Gulfishan are internationally-recognized leader in the field of Ethnobiology. The worldwide competition involved many countries. World’s scientific communities turn their attention to merit of the scientific concept involved in it. It is catalyzing the funding and research prospects. The research findings appeared on world’s prestigious The Journal of Ethnobiology and Traditional Medicine. International Agency for Standards and Ratings recognizes the researchers among World's 500 Most Influential Ethnobiologist for the year 2015 on earth. Tariq Ahmad Bhat is Lecturer for Botany at Govt. Higher Secondary School Aishmuqam, Department of School Education, Govt. of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Aijaz Ahmad Wani is Sr. Assistant Professor at Cytogenetics and Reproductive Biology Laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Kashmir, Srinagar, J & K, India. M. Gulfishan is Post Doctrate Fellow at Department of Botany, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh, India. Tariq Ahmad Bhat, Aijaz Ahmad Wani and M. Gulfishan from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won James Watson Research Award-2015 in Ethnobiology. Their research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'The Journal of Ethnobiology and Traditional Medicine'. In their report on Medicinal Plants Sector in Northern India: An Ethno-Medicinal Appraisal they mention that India is one of the world's top 12 mega biodiversity countries with 10 bio-geographic regions and two biodiversity hotspots. The climatic and altitudinal variations, coupled with varied ecological habitats of the country, have contributed to the development of immensely rich vegetation with a unique diversity in medicinal plants. The medicinal plant species have made an outstanding contribution in treatment of several disorders like memory loss, osteoporosis, immune and age-related problems, and even some deadly diseases like AIDS and cancer. In recent past, the traditional knowledge based treatment has gained a wide recognition worldwide due to an increased faith in herbal medicine in view of its lesser side effects compared to allopathic medicine. The main objectives of present study were to explore the potential in medicinal plant resources, to understand the challenges and opportunities within the medicinal plant sector, and also to suggest recommendations based upon the present state of knowledge for the establishment and smooth functioning of the medicinal plants sector besides improving the living standards of the underprivileged communities. Under their leadership the research area is surely likely to expand beyond the horizons. It will be worthy to explore the further potential under their legacy. Tariq Ahmad Bhat, Aijaz Ahmad Wani and M. Gulfishan as valuable intellectuals for the India offer exclusive opportunities for scholars around the world. One of the most attractive weightage for India is to have the awardees for promotion of the concerned scientific discipline for the benefit of its civilians. Thus India which has excellent track record to produce brain storming intellectuals, has offered a new extension in terms of Tariq Ahmad Bhat, Aijaz Ahmad Wani and M. Gulfishan to world. The traditional medical systems of Northern India such as Ayurvedia and Tibetan are part of time tested culture and honored by people still today. These traditions have successfully set an example of natural resource use in curing many complex diseases for more than three thousand years. The plants used for various therapies are readily available, easy to transport, and have relatively long shelf life. The most important advantage of herbal medicine is the minimal side effects, and relatively low cost compared to the synthetic medicines. The success of medicinal plants sector mainly depends on the awareness and interest of the farmers and other stakeholders, supportive government policies, availability of assured market, profitable prize levels and access to simple and appropriate agro-techniques. The successful establishment of medicinal plant sector may help in development of cheaper drugs, maintain ecosystem balance, prevent extinction of highly prized species and improve the living standards of ethnic communities. They are thankful to all those scholars, authors and scientists who provided significant inputs and valuable suggestions during preparation of this manuscript.
