After the fall of the [[Khmer Empire]] in the 15th century, the temple of Ta Prohm was abandoned and neglected for centuries. When the effort to conserve and restore the temples of [[Angkor]] began in the early 20th century, the [[École française d'Extrême-Orient]] decided that Ta Prohm would be left largely as it had been found, as a "concession to the general taste for the picturesque." According to pioneering Angkor scholar [[Maurice Glaize]], Ta Prohm was singled out because it was "one of the most imposing [temples] and the one which had best merged with the jungle, but not yet to the point of becoming a part of it".<ref>Glaize, p.141.</ref> Nevertheless, much work has been done to stabilize the ruins, to permit access, and to maintain "this condition of apparent neglect."<ref name="Freeman and Jacques, p.136"/>

In 1992, [[UNESCO]] inscribed Ta Prohm on the [[World Heritage List]]. The conservation and restoration of Ta Prohm is a partnership project of the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] and the [[APSARA]] (Authority for the Protection and Management of Angkor and the Region of Siem Reap).<ref name=rebuilding>{{cite news | url=https://www.thehindu.com/features/friday-review/history-and-culture/asi-rebuilding-the-glory-of-buddhist-complex-in-cambodia/article3700248.ece | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120731064407/http://www.thehindu.com/arts/history-and-culture/article3700248.ece| archive-date=2012-07-31| title=ASI rebuilding the glory of Buddhist complex in Cambodia| website=[[The Hindu]]| url-status=live}}</ref>

By 2013, the [[Archaeological Survey of India]] restored most parts of the temple complex, some of which were constructed from scratch.<ref name=rebuilding/> Wooden walkways, platforms, and roped railings were put in place around the site to protect the monument from further damages from tourists.

In November 2022, a renovation of the Hall of Dancers was completed.<ref>{{Cite news | url=https://www.phnompenhpost.com/travel/ta-prohms-hall-dancers-set-tourists | title=Ta Prohm's 'Hall of Dancers' set for tourists | first=Chea | last=Sokny | work=[[The Phnom Penh Post]] | date=15 November 2022}}</ref>
