Émil Albert Goeldi (var. Göldi) (1859-1917), was a Swiss-Brazilian naturalist and zoologist. He studied in Germany with Ernst Haeckel, and arrived in Brazil in 1880 to work in the National Museum (Museu Nacional) in Rio de Janeiro. After a short stay, he was fired due to political circumstances related to the proclamation of the Republic and the exile of his benefactor, D. Pedro II. He was invited by the governor of the state of Pará, Lauro Sodré, to reorganize the Pará Museum of Natural History and Ethnography, in Belém, which had been founded in 1866. He arrived in 9 June 1894. In 1902, the Museum was renamed in his honor as Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi. He returned to Switzerland in 1905. Émil A.
