===Conservation plan===
In 1998, The "Master Plan for Conservation and Management of the Chan Chan Archeological Complex" was drawn up by the Freedom National Culture Institute of [[Peru]] with contributions from the World Heritage Foundation – WHR, ICCROM, and GCI. The plan was approved by the Peruvian Government.<ref>{{Cite news|url = https://whc.unesco.org/document/135239|title = Legal Documentation of the Peruvian Government taking care of Chan Chan|format = .PDF}}</ref> Methods of conservation include reinforcement and stabilization of structures of main buildings and around the Tschudi Palace, using a blend of traditional and modern engineering techniques.<ref name="Correia">{{Citation|last=Correia|first=M|chapter=Which course of action for earthen architectural heritage preservation?|date=2012-05-31|publisher=CRC Press|isbn=978-0415621250|doi=10.1201/b15164-4|title=Rammed Earth Conservation|doi-broken-date=11 November 2024}}</ref> Chan Chan currently has 46 points of critical damage, though the site's total damage far exceeds these points.

The World Heritage Committee's initial recommendations included taking the appropriate measures for conservation, restoration, and management; halting any excavation that did not have accompanying conservation measures; and mitigation of plundering. A Pan-American Course on the Conservation and Management of Earthen Architectural and Archaeological Heritage was funded by many institutes coming together, including ICCROM, the Getty Conservation Institute, and the Government of Peru.<ref name="Correia"/> Archeologists have been trying to protect this city in many ways. They are trying to create rain coverings over the buildings to protect them from the rain and save the adobe buildings that are deteriorating. They have also been trying to create new drainage systems to drain the rainwater faster.<ref>{{cite web |title=a quick guide to chan chan's climate crisis |url=https://artsandculture.google.com/story/a-quick-guide-to-chan-chan-39-s-climate-crisis-cyark/5AVhtRlkePeQLw?hl=en |website=arts and culture }}</ref> Chan Chan has been on the world heritage danger list since 1986. since 2000 they have implemented safety measures that include documentation of everything, public management, and an emergency and disaster plan.<ref>{{cite web |title=UNESCO |url=https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/366/ |website=Chan Chan Archaeological Zone |publisher=UNESCO}}</ref>
