Mining activities create lot of ecological imbalance, including destruction of wildlife habitat. It also gives a negative impact on perennial stream. In near future, we have to restore them using ecological keys. Bio – indicator of perennial stream is very important for restoration and act like ecological keys. Keeping this in view, an attempt has been made to enumerate the plant species growing in and around perennial stream of Koira range, Bonai Forest Division, Odisha, India. Koira range comes under mining impacted areas. Results revealed that about 21 plant species are commonly available in 10 streams of Koira range. Enumerated species could be the indicators of perennial streams which would be fruitful for future restoration strategies.
