Great apes//gorillas//monkeys

WWF is an international organization that aims to save life on Earth. Having protected numerous kinds of animals, it focuses special attention to endangered species, including tigers, pandas, and great apes.

HI,
Does "great apes" in the above amount to "apes/gorillas/monkeys?"
Besides, should it be "focuses special attention on or to endangered species?" Thanks.

The great apes are the higher primates: gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos, orangutans and men. The group does not include gibbons or lower monkeys. Attention on is much the better collocation.
