Legend
You could also have the druid relocated from another country and is trying to make his new home into something that resembles the former home. A druid out of 'Africa' and not found himself in 'Siberia' may want to change the ecosystem and climate to resemble his old home with lions and rhinos and making it hot. The locals are not used to this and would see him as evil. This can be a long term plan over several levels changing the climate. There can be strange animal sightings and such in the beginning with portals bringing a whole herd of something in the mid levels.
