The article attempts to comprehend the necessary defense and forcible detention of environmental offenders. Environmental encroachments are divided into two groups: ordinary (poaching), fraught with the real possibility of violent resistance to government officials, eco-activists, and nonviolent, including “white collar” ones. Based on this gradation, the nature and degree of public danger of the corresponding encroachments and other conditions of the legality of harming offenders are analyzed. The possibility of applying the necessary defense against legal entities, as well as administrative offenses, is argued.
