Ovis ammon ammon, also known as Marco Polo sheep have been sport hunted for decades by sportsman from around the world - in very limited numbers! Why? It is incredibly expensive. Like $100,000 for tax, tag, title, and delivery to use a phrase. Also, you better be pretty fit to hunt those mountains. Thus, the cross sections of hunters that fit both rich, fit , and desire sheep are few.
At $100K a ram, the economic benefit if great. Local people poach the "beloved sheep" for food, and have been known to do so commercially. Meat is hard to come by in those places.
