Restoration Ecologists
We Restore, You Re-story.
We turn vision into action—regenerating ecosystems, empowering communities, and creating measurable impact across continents.
Micro to Macro International Expertise
Symbiosis Soil Lab is a regenerative enterprise dedicated to ecosystem and landscape restoration through an integrated ecological design thinking approach. Working across scales— from farm estates to bioregional systems — we apply principles of permaculture, syntropic regeneration, and systems design to restore living landscapes that support regional and planetary health.
We combine a deep understanding of soil microbiology, biodiversity, and ecological interconnectivity to regenerate degraded lands into thriving ecosystems. By harmonising natural patterns with innovative design, we help bring resilience to landscapes and help restore towards balance on our planet.
Let’s bring your vision to life—together.

The New Narrative
The Earth is our shared responsibility, transcending all borders and beliefs. Together, we must take action to restore its balance, not through words but through our deeds.
Every year, the United Nations reports the loss of 12 million hectares of land to desertification, accelerating biodiversity loss and threatening vital ecosystems that are essential for sustaining life on our planet.
Faced with this crisis, we at Symbiosis Soil Lab have embarked on a mission to deepen our understanding of its urgency and complexity, seeking guidance from global leaders. From the deserts of the Middle East to the biospheres of the Amazon and the arid Mediterranean biomes, we have gained insights from international experts and specialists in soil microbiology, dryland ecological restoration, Indigenous land management, and ecological design thinking.
We have integrated these unique fields of knowledge to develop a comprehensive approach to ecosystem restoration.
We offer a path to healing the planet’s ecology. This is more than a vision—it is an urgent and achievable reality. With your investment and commitment, we can scale this transformative work, address the climate crisis, deliver strong returns, and support ecosystem resilience for future generations.

Jake Corin
Co-Founder & Land Restoration Ecologist
Read Bio
Originally from Cornwall, Jake has spent much of his life exploring the world—learning from diverse ecosystems, cultures, and traditional ecological knowledge. His academic background includes a BSc in Ethnobotanical Plant Sciences, an MA in Ecological Design Thinking from Schumacher College, and advanced training in Soil Food Web science with Dr. Elaine Ingham.
Jake’s passion lies at the intersection of plant intelligence, microbiology, and regenerative systems design. Inspired by Indigenous ecological practices and shaped by experiences in the Himalayas, the Amazon rainforest, and the deserts of Spain, he brings a deeply holistic and systems-oriented approach to land restoration.
Key projects, such as Greening the Desert in Jordan, along with hands-on experience in permaculture, syntropic agriculture, and dryland restoration, have fueled Jake’s commitment to reversing desertification and regenerating degraded landscapes. His design philosophy is rooted in both scientific understanding and embodied observation—nourished by practices like Vipassana meditation that deepen awareness of life’s interconnection and the inner balance needed to restore outer ecosystems.
At Symbiosis Soil Lab, Jake leads the development of regenerative land-use strategies that center soil health, biodiversity, and community resilience. His work empowers clients to reconnect with the land—fostering systems of renewal, reciprocity, and longterm sustainability.
Silvia Silva
Co-Founder & Business Director

Born in a village in central Portugal, Silvia Silva’s deep connection to nature was nurtured by her grandmother, who instilled strong values of respect for the environment. With a name meaning “forest” in Latin, Silvia’s early years in the countryside shaped her lifelong commitment to ecological restoration.
While pursuing creative studies in Multimedia and Audiovisuals in Lisbon and London, Silvia quickly realized that her true calling lay in meaningful work that aligned with her passion for nature and sustainability. This led her to the “Start-up Leadership Program” and a pivotal experience at the UN-backed Unleash event in Denmark (2017), where she was selected to present an essay on preserving cultural heritage in the face of global commercialization.
Building on her entrepreneurial spirit, Silvia furthered her expertise with an MBA from the University of Exeter, UK, refining her systemic thinking and creative problem-solving approach. Today, as co-founder and business director of Symbiosis Soil Lab, Silvia leads efforts to provide sustainable, regenerative solutions to the ecological challenges facing agricultural and forestry systems. She is dedicated to guiding both small and large-scale producers toward sustainable land management practices that restore ecosystems and promote long-term environmental health.
In addition to her strategic role, Silvia drives Symbiosis Soil Lab’s identity and communication, focusing on educating diverse sectors—especially agriculture and forestry— on the importance of soil microbiology. Through her work, she seeks to reshape the narrative of land management, emphasizing the integral role of healthy soils in ecosystem restoration.
