AASTMT’s Monitoring IUCN and Conservation Species Policy ensures the protection and sustainable management of species within its areas of influence by following international conservation standards. The policy promotes non-lethal, ethical research methods and requires annual monitoring, updated species lists, and conservation reporting. It also integrates biodiversity awareness and SDGs 13, 14, and 15 into academic programs, student projects, and staff training. Through initiatives like TouMaLi and participation in global forums such as MEPC 82, AASTMT reinforces its role as a regional leader in biodiversity conservation and environmental governance.

The College of Engineering Symposium on Preservation and Restoration of Heritage Buildings explored the intersection of architectural conservation, sustainable land use, and environmental protection organized by College of Engineering and Technology-Heliopolis Campus, AASTMT. Although primarily focused on architectural heritage, the event emphasized the importance of maintaining land stability, reducing urban land degradation, and preserving cultural and ecological landscapes. Discussions addressed environmentally responsible restoration techniques, adaptive reuse of existing structures to reduce land exploitation, and integrating conservation practices that safeguard both the built environment and the natural land ecosystems surrounding heritage sites. Through its educational approach, the symposium contributed to SDG 15(Life on Land), Collaborating Partners are Faculty experts in architecture and environmental design, local urban-development stakeholders, and heritage-conservation professionals.
