I have to disagree, to me having a common enemy makes plots like this along the vein of star wars or harry potter. For a while the villain can be ambiguous and the characters can fight the changed animals turn it turns into how to stop something like the personification of pollution.

Edit:
That being said if the concept is esoteric enough eventually we can find out that the problem is bigger then pollution. Especially if we go with the idea that we are natures seedlings send to protect the earth.
