The present work consisted of determining the number of Drivers of Change (DCh) of 24 wetlands of the Peruvian coast from a review of the scientific articles published between 2000 and 2020, with the use of the platforms Science Direct, Google Scholar, Scopus and Scielo. 172 scientific articles were reviewed, identifying 22 DCh. Agriculture, livestock, introduction of species and accumulation of debris were the most frequent direct DCh, while poor governance was the most common indirect DCh (38%); the wetland with the highest number of DCh was Los Pantanos de Villa. A positive correlation was verified between the production of scientific articles and the number of DCh identified per wetland. Four groups of wetlands had high similarity in their DCh (≥ 50%), which suggests that the management measures to face these impacts are similar. The co-appearance of DCh was divided into two groups with a similarity ≥ 50%. A conceptual model of DCh interactions and their effects on ecological processes was developed. The information from this work can serve to guide measures for the better management of these ecosystems on the Peruvian coast
