Yes. Assiut University has a policy to identify, monitor, and protect IUCN Red Listed species and nationally protected species that may occur in areas affected by its operations.

Assiut University has established a biodiversity policy that supports the identification, monitoring, and protection of species listed on the IUCN Red List and national conservation lists. The policy promotes biodiversity conservation through collaboration with conservation organizations and governmental bodies, awareness programs, educational activities, community outreach, and research focused on endangered species. The policy specifically references threatened species occurring in Egypt, including the Egyptian Vulture (Neophron percnopterus), Greater Spotted Eagle (Clanga clanga), Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas), Dugong (Dugong dugon), and other nationally significant species. 

In addition, Assiut University has a formal biodiversity policy aligned with national and IUCN guidelines. The university incorporates biodiversity considerations into campus planning and development, preserves existing habitats and trees, promotes the use of native plant species, and works with conservation partners to protect endangered species and maintain ecological balance. 

The university also supports biodiversity monitoring and conservation through green infrastructure initiatives, including botanical gardens, arboretums, training farms, and research programs that contribute to habitat protection and species conservation. [aun.edu.eg],
