Kunja Bihari Satapathy from India made a historical victory over the international competition and won International Ethnomedicine Research Award-2014. His research was highlighted in international media and gathered a large worldwide attention in scientific circles while it appeared in world's most read journal 'International Journal of Medicinal Plants'. In his report on Medicinal Plant Diversity of Sukinda Valley in Jajpur district of Odisha, India he mention that Sukinda valley is situated in the western part of Jajpur district of Odisha, India. This area is found to be a potent source of a variety of medicinal plants. An extensive field survey on floristic composition of the valley revealed that tribals and atribals of the area mostly depend on the native plants in their primary healthcare management. Studies on the ethnobotanical exploration of the area resulted in the documentation of 50 important ethno-medicinal plants belonging to 37 families that are employed for treating over 30 different types of human diseases and 18 animal diseases. Human ailments covered in this article include boils, bronchitis, cough, colic pain, conjunctivitis, diabetes, diarrhoea, dysentery etc., while animal ailments include blood dysentery, constipation, ectoparasites, enlargement of glands in throat, filariasis, flatulence, foot and mouth disease, galactorrhoea, indigestion, mastitis, mump, post-delivery clearance of uterus, throat infection, yoke-wound and swellings etc. Bronchitis, constipation, conjunctivitis, diarrhoea, dysentery (including blood dysentery), foot and mouth disease, mumps and respiratory diseases are prevalent in the area.

The present study on the floristic composition with reference to the utilization of the medicinal plants by the tribes highlighted the pharmaceutically important and commercially potential medicinal plant species having demand in both wild and cultivated conditions. It is observed that the increasing demand for medicinal plants threats the forest/ natural resource management for sustainable utilization. Evidently, collection of medicinal plants from the wild habitats causes ecosystem imbalance and disappearance of sensitive plant species. Similarly, the practice of the traditional use of herbal resources is also losing its popularity very fast in view of not having a sustainable development policy for the promotion of traditional knowledge based programme. The present findings suggest for further studies on those potential and frequently used disease specific plant species which can show the pathway for the isolation of drug compounds. Efforts can be made for the popularization of cultivation of some potential ISM drug plants by the native inhabitants by adopting suitable agro-techniques which can also add to the conservation of biodiversity of the region and sustainable utilization of plant resources.
Some of the plants reported to be used against certain diseases were not earlier reported.
Some plants were recorded being vulnerable and threatened in their wild habitats for various reasons such as unorganized collection by the traditional practitioners, demand for trade, displacement for urbanization and mining activities etc.
Some of the interesting plants which are used to manage animal diseases are reported for the first time and documented. You can share this News URL on Facebook or your Social Media Site/ blog.
