Satkhira is a town and district headquarters of Satkhira District and Satkhira Sadar Upazila in Khulna Division, in southwestern Bangladesh. The English Wikipedia article gives the population of the city as about 138,000, which makes it the 35th largest city in Bangladesh. The area includes a large proportion of the Sundarbans mangrove forest of Bangladesh, and it has suffered from saltwater intrusion into the water supply as a result of sea level rise, one of the effects of climate change in Bangladesh. The Geography Atlas places Satkhira among the cities of Southern Asia, the subregion that holds Bangladesh.
